Chevington is a small, rural parish in the West Suffolk district of Suffolk, in eastern England. Set in rolling arable countryside, it is made up of farms, cottages and a small village core; the local economy remains largely agricultural, with a number of residents commuting to nearby market towns for work and services.
The parish has the quiet historic feel typical of Suffolk, with a parish church of medieval origin and several older farmhouses and listed buildings set among hedgerows and small woodlands. A close-knit local community stages occasional village events and relies on nearby centres such as Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket for larger cultural and commercial facilities.
