Surgery needs YOU!

We are encouraging patients to give their views about how the Practice is doing. We would like to be able to find out the opinions of as many patients as possible and want to develop an e-mail community that we can consult with on a regular basis. By providing your e-mail details we can add them to a contact list and we will contact you by e-mail every now and then to ask you for your opinion.

If you are interested please could you contact any member of staff at Reception (01787 461784 option 1) who will add you to our contact list. Your details will only be used for this purpose and will be kept safely.

WHO ARE WE?
Castle Hedingham Surgery has served the village of Castle Hedingham and the surrounding area for over 30 years.

Castle Hedingham developed around the Castle, probably now the best preserved Norman keep in the country and the ancient seat of the de Veres, Earls of Oxford. They were given the land by William the Conqueror, and in the thirteenth century they founded a hospital dedicated to St James at the castle gates. The village was famous for St James well, probably located on the Eastern edge of the village, a freshwater spring celebrated for its miraculous cure of disease. These days we have no hospital, and the well is long since lost - but we do have an excellent team in our small surgery in the centre of the village. We look forward to meeting you.
