Fressingfield contains 4,618 acres. It is one of Suffolk's largest parishes - only fifteen, out of more than 500, being larger.
Agriculture remains dominant - but only as far as land use is concerned.
Whittingham Hall also has the remains of a medieval deer park. The Manor of Whittingham was granted a Market in 1267. This was transferred to the centre of the village by 1550. Features Inventory Topographical Common land Chippenhall Green, which contains forty acres, is the sole survivor of large tracts of Common Land which lay close to the boundary of the parish. No record exists of the enclosure of Great Whittingham Green, Little Whittingham Green, Gules Green, Ufford Green and Butcher's Green.
