& Parish Code: E04009370 & E04009456 Area Summary Benhall & Sternfield are two parishes in Coastal that sit just south of . Benhall is larger and most populous of the two by some distance and holds almost all of the area’s community assets. The parish of Benhall straddles the A12 with the majority of the land on the western side, but the modern day village is on the eastern side which holds a good number of facilities. The Benhall clubhouse and adjacent sports field is well equipped and the village retains its own primary school. Benhall is notable for its large amount of outside space. As well as the aforementioned recreational ground there is a village green and a near by wetland called The Wadd. The western side of Benhall is geographically larger and the presence of a hall and parish church in this area indicates how the village centre has moved east. Sternfield retains a parish church and some farmland but has little else on its own.
