Wherstead is a village and a civil parish located in the county of Suffolk, England. Wherstead village lies south of Ipswich on the Shotley peninsula. It is in the Belstead Brook electoral division of Suffolk County Council.
==History== It is an ancient settlement, and from its soil the plough has brought to light many evidences of occupation by Romans and by early Britons. In the Domesday Book of 1086 the place is described under the Old English names Querstede and Wervesteda. Toponymic surnames which originate from Wherstead include Quested and Quersted. The name of the village and parish is in today generally pronounced Wersted or Warsted by the residents, the "a" in the latter case having the sound of "a" in father.
