In 2011 St Edmundsbury Borough Council announced that Wickhambrook is to lose one of its Greens. Lady's Green is to become part of Ousden. The date of this change is still to be determined, as it is under review.
The village has three places of worship: All Saints' Church – Anglican (OS grid TL7554) on Church Road near the B1063 road; the United Reformed Church, at Meeting Green on Cemetery Road; and the Methodist Chapel at the intersection of Shop Hill (B1063) and Cemetery Road. In former times there was a Free Chapel in the grounds of Badmondisfield Hall; its date of closure is unrecorded.
There are three formal burial sites in the village: the original churchyard of All Saints', which was closed by an Order in Council in 1890 (except that in 1934 George V made an Order allowing the burial of Alexander McKechnie, Vicar of Wickhambrook);[2] a small number of burial plots in the grounds of the United Reformed Church; and finally the cemetery to be found on Cemetery Road which also hosts a small chapel and the village war memorial.
Bullock's Mill was a post mill built at Thorns about 1830. It was demolished about 1914; some remains can be seen. Another mill stood on the road towards Hargrave until 1920. A third mill dating from the 18th century, stood in the south of the parish near Denston until 1969.
