Great Finborough is a small village and civil parish in Mid Suffolk, Suffolk, in eastern England, set in rolling arable countryside and not far from the market towns of Stowmarket and Bury St Edmunds. Its lanes, hedgerows and farmland give it a distinctly rural character while still being within easy commuting distance of larger towns.
The village has a long agricultural heritage and features a historic country house, Finborough Hall, a parish church and a compact centre; local life is centred on farms, small businesses, a village hall and community clubs. Social and historical interest is typical of Suffolk villages, with an active parish and groups that maintain local traditions alongside more modern commuter and home-working lifestyles.
