Welcome to Chediston

Chediston is a small village located in the county of Suffolk, England. The village is situated approximately 3 miles south-west of the town of Halesworth and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a population of around 200 people and is known for its historic church, St. Mary's, which dates back to the 14th century.

The village of Chediston has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 and has been inhabited ever since. The village was once home to a number of farms and small businesses, but today it is primarily a residential area. Despite this, the village still retains its rural charm and is a popular destination for walkers and cyclists.

One of the main attractions of Chediston is its historic church, St. Mary's. The church is a Grade I listed building and is considered to be one of the finest examples of medieval architecture in Suffolk. The church features a number of interesting features, including a 15th-century font, a 17th-century pulpit, and a 19th-century stained glass window. The church is also home to a number of interesting memorials, including one to Sir William Waldegrave, who was a prominent figure in the village during the 17th century.
