Map of the UK

Peasenhall is a small village and civil parish in the district of East Suffolk, within rural Suffolk, England. It sits amid the county’s rolling arable farmland and wooded lanes rather than on any major transport route, which gives it a quiet, close-knit character while keeping it within easy reach of nearby market towns and the coast.

The local economy has traditionally been agricultural, with market gardening and farming still visible alongside small businesses and a number of commuters; community life revolves around the parish church, village hall and pub, plus annual fetes and clubs. The village also attracts interest for its historic buildings and a notorious unsolved murder in 1902, which remains part of local lore and adds an unusual footnote to its otherwise pastoral history.
