Chilton is a small rural parish in the Babergh district of Suffolk, England, set amid rolling arable countryside and hedged lanes. The settlement is made up of scattered cottages and farmsteads clustered around a historic parish church, and contains several brick and timber buildings dating from the 17th to 19th centuries that hint at a long agricultural past.
The local economy remains largely agricultural, supplemented by small businesses and commuters who travel to nearby market towns such as Sudbury and Hadleigh. Chilton retains a quiet, close-knit social feel with occasional village events and a local interest in conserving its rural character and heritage.
