Welcome to Thorpe-Le-Soken

Thorpe-le-Soken's history can be traced back to Saxon times.

There has been a manor house at Thorpe since about 1150.  Thorpe Hall was owned originally by the Leake family,  Later became the home of Viscount Bing of Vimy and his wife who relandscaped the gardens.  Today it has evolved into Lifehouse & Spa Hotel retaining the 'spiritual home' theme and the beautiful gardens.

Rolph C of E Primary School is in the High Street  and the Thorpe Campus of Tendring Technology College (Years 7, 8 and 9) is in Landermere Road.

The village is served by Thorpe-le-Soken Railway Station.  It hosts several pubs, shops and restaurants.
