Stanstead is a village and civil parish in Suffolk, England. The name Stanstead comes from the Old English for "Stony place". Located off the B1066, it is around {{convert|4|mi|0}} from Sudbury, and is part of Babergh district. It is about {{convert|2|km|0}} from Glemsford, {{convert|12|mi|0}} from Hadleigh, and {{convert|4|mi|0}} from Lavenham.

Etymology

The name Stanstead is Anglo Saxon for "stony place" and it is easy to appreciate how this came about when viewing the surrounding fields, particularly in the lower part of the village, which are strewn with glacial flint. There is much evidence of earlier Iron Age and Roman settlements in the surrounding area.[2]

Geography

Stanstead is situated in Glem Valley to the north east of Sudbury. The Parish borders Long Melford in the west, Glemsford to the south, Boxted to the east and Shimpling to the north.

The village is "T shaped", the lower half of the settlement (Lower Street) follows the B1066 along the bottom of the valley past the old Stanstead osier beds. The upper part of the village is reached by a 30-metre climb up the hill past Stanstead Hall towards the church and a cluster of houses, a small green and then on to Upper Street and Blooms Hall Lane.[2]

Stanstead lies in the Babergh district of the shire county of Suffolk. The three tiers of local government are administered by

  • Suffolk County Council
  • Babergh District Council
  • Stanstead Parish Council

Education
