Troston is a village and civil parish in Suffolk, England, five miles north-east of Bury St Edmunds. Its parish church contains rare mediaeval wall paintings, including dragon-slaying and the Martyrdom of St Edmund.

The local pub, The Bull, had been a central part of the village since the late 1800s, but was closed, leaving it boarded up. Owners, brewers Greene King, sold it, and The Bull has now reopened as a Free House with a restaurant. [3]

Troston Hall, to the south of the village, is a Grade II* listed late sixteenth-century manor house, [4] with the Grade II listed Hall Farm to its north. [5]

There are 16 listed buildings in the village. [6]

Governance and religion

The parish falls under the West Suffolk District Council ward of Pakenham & Troston, the Suffolk County Council division of Thingoe North, and the parliamentary constituency of Bury St Edmunds, whose MP since 2015 is Jo Churchill of the Conservative Party.

The ecclesiastical parish falls under the province of Canterbury, the diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, the archdeaconry of Sudbury, and the deanery of Ixworth.
