The village has a primary school called Worlingworth CEVC Primary School.

Broken down, 'Wihere' is a personal name, '-ingas' means 'the people of' or 'the people called after' and 'worð' is for 'an enclosure'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://kepn.nottingham.ac.uk/map/place/Suffolk/Worlingworth )〕 The Domesday book states Worlingworth to be "quite large", with a population of 32 households, made up from 16 villagers, 14 smallholders, 1 slave and 1 freeman. The livestock of Worlingworth in 1066 included 8 cattle, 24 pigs, 25 sheep, 35 goats and 2 horses, this remained the same by 1086 however the village had gained 6 beehives and lost the 2 horses. John Marius Wilson wrote about Worlingworth in 1870 and described it as: :"a parish, with a village, in Hoxne district, Suffolk; 5 miles NW by N of Framlingham r. station. It has a post-office under Wickham-Market. Acres, 2,446. Real property, £4,562. Pop., 740. Houses, 170. The manor, with W. Hall, belongs to Lord Henniker." In 1801 the village had the facilities of a blacksmith, a wheelwright, a shoemaker, a dressmaker, a brewers and malsters, a general tradesman, a general store, a beerhouse and coaching inn, a workhouse, a school, a church and a stately hall.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wlhg.org/?pagename=06.Places )〕 The workhouse was founded in 1730, after the village guild hall was converted. It was able to accommodate 35 people up until it was closed in 1836, shortly after outbreaks of typhus in 1820.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wlhg.org/?pagename=06.Places-The+Parish+Workhouse )〕 By 2014 the village amenities have changed considerably compared to those available in 1801. There is now a church, a community centre, a primary school and a pub.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://worlingworth.onesuffolk.net/about-our-village/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Worlingworth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
