Location Stow Thorney is situated on the Mendlesham Road, in an accessible location a short distance from the A140 Norwich Road, formerly a Roman road, within the parish of Wetheringsett-cum-Brockford. The parish is home to the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway Museum, affectionately known as the 'Middy', a tourist attraction and museum, with shop, bar and café, as well as a host of events throughout the year. The hamlet of Brockford has a BP petrol station with shop, with the nearby village of Wetheringsett benefitting from a primary school and church. The neighbouring village of Mendlesham, 1½ miles, is well served with a primary school, health centre, village stores, post office, pub and fish and chip shop.
