Weston, Suffolk
Human settlement in England
Weston is a village and civil parish in the English county of Suffolk. It is around 2 miles (3 km) south of Beccles in the East Suffolk district. The parish lies either side of the A145 road and is crossed by the Ipswich to Lowestoft railway line.[3] Neighbouring parishes include Ellough, Ringsfield, Willingham St Mary and Shadingfield. The village is largely dispersed with a population of around 230.[lower-alpha 1][2]
The village has few services and a joint parish council covers both Ringsfield and Weston.[5] The village once had a school, on King's Lane, and a public house, the Duke of Marlborough on the main A145.[3][6] Both are now closed and the major centre of population in the parish is to the west where it borders Ringsfield Corner.[7]
The parish church is medieval in origin and dedicated to St Peter.[8] It has a primarily Norman core and is a Grade I listed building.[8][9] The parish was combined with that of All Saints Church, Ellough in the 1970s.[7]
