}}Assington is a village in Suffolk, England, {{convert|4|mi|km}} south-east of Sudbury. At the 2011 Census, it had a population of 402.[1]

According to Eilert Ekwall, the meaning of the name is "homestead of Assi". The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book, when it had a 78 households.[2] At the survey in 1086, it was held by Ranulf Peverel. Before the Norman Conquest, the village was held by Siward Barn.[2]

The parish church is dedicated to Edmund the Martyr and dates from the 15th century. It is built from flint and dressed stone. The church was restored in the 19th century.[3] Six bells hang in the tower, with the largest weighing approximately 10cwt - 2qr.[4] The bells, cast and rehung in 1890 by John Warner, were unringable as of 2013.[4]

The parish includes the hamlets of Rose Green and Dorking Tye.[5]

Assington Hall - which is adjacent to the church - was home of the Gurdon family for many centuries.[6]
