History
The name "Washbrook" means 'Washing brook' or 'flooding brook'.[6] Washbrook was called "Great Belstead" in Saxon times while the present Belstead was called "Little Belstead".[7] The village is likely one of the sources of the surname Washbrook.[8] As of 1958 Washbrook Street was a secondary settlement for Washbrook.[4] In 1961 the parish had a population of 368.[9] On 1 April 1994 the parish was abolished and merged with Copdock to form Copdock and Washbrook. Parts of Washbrook went to form the new parish of Pinewood and parts went to Chattisham, Sproughton and Belstead.[10]
