Our Parish is made up of Toppesfield and Gainsford End with a population of approximately 500 people from 210 households.  In our parish we are luck enough to have an open Church, primary school, village hall, and three community owned enterprises. These being Toppesfield Stores, Pumphouse Brewery and The Green Man public house. There are also plenty of leisure groups active in the village.
