The village houses an airbase. Formerly known as RAF Wattisham, it was one of the front-line airbases in the Cold War. The RAF moved out in March 1993 and it is now the largest Army Air Corps airfield in the United Kingdom. The airbase is now named Wattisham Airfield.
North of the village is Wattisham Castle, dating from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.[2] The Wattisham Strict Baptist Chapel is located in the village.
