The village church is dedicated to St Lawrence.[2] The hamlet of Crown Corner, where the village pub is located, lies north of the village along the B1118. The nearest secondary school is at Stradbroke. Children attend primary school in Wilby, the former village school now being used as the village hall and IT training centre.[3]

The name Brundish originates from the old English words burna (stream) and edisc (pasture); the surname Brundage originates from it.[4]
