Formerly three parishes, Creeting All Saints and Creeting St Olave were consolidated into Creeting St Mary on 25 March 1884. The consolidated parish had 3,115 residents and in 1901 had 636.[3]
The buck of a windmill survives in the village. It was used as a dovecote after ceasing to be a windmill.
St Mary's Church has been listed grade II* by English Heritage. The parish was originally in the Hundred of Bosmere and Claydon.[4]
The village has a voluntarily aided Church of England primary school with 80–90 pupils. The Victorian building of the school, still in use for some classes, dates from 1871.
The village also has a charitable pre-school based in the Diamond Jubilee Hall.[6] There are public playground facilities in Blacksmiths Field.[7]
Creeting St Mary has a pub/restaurant, The Highwayman, and several other catering, retail and service outlets.[8] Semi-soft Suffolk Gold cheese has been made here since 2004 by a family firm.
