History

Elm Tree Gallery is located in a Tudor house circa 1525 and was first recorded in 1575 as The Bull Inn. The Gallery was established in 1978 in the nearby village of Drinkstone and moved to Woolpit in 1987. We pride ourselves on a personal service to our customers. We have many visitors from afar who make a point of regularly returning to us because of the unique and friendly ambience and  excellent selection of gifts and greetings cards.

The village of Woolpit itself is well worth a visit with its fine Church of St Mary famous for its double hammer beam “angel” roof and pew ends. Woolpit is also well known for the well documented medieval legend of the Green Children -  details of which can be found in the Gallery.

Just across the road from us is Woolpit Local History Museum, which is open Sat, and Sun. 14.30hrs – 17.00hrs from Easter weekend until the end of September.  It includes an interesting display on brick making, which was a vey important trade in Woolpit for very many years.

In addition to our light refreshements there are also other excellent places in the village to eat and drink including The Swan and The Bull inns.
