Spexhall is a small, dispersed village in Suffolk, England, with a population of 192 as of the 2011 census. Situated approximately 1.5 miles north of Halesworth, it lies along the A144, tracing the route of the ancient Roman Stone Street. The village is home to St Peter’s Church, a Grade II* listed building dating back to around 1150. Notable features include a Norman north doorway, a 15th-century font, and a round west tower rebuilt in 1911 after the original collapsed in 1725. Adjacent to the church stands the Spexhall War Memorial, a 4.3-meter-tall Portland stone cross unveiled in 1920 to honor local men who served in both World Wars. Another landmark is Spexhall Manor, a Grade II listed 16th-century timber-framed house, extensively restored in 1908. Community life centers around the Village Hall, which hosts local events and gatherings. Spexhall’s rich history and serene environment exemplify Suffolk’s rural charm.
