Leavenheath Village Sign - a photo on Flickriver

Leavenheath is a village and civil parish just north of the Suffolk - Essex border. Located on the A134 between Sudbury and Colchester, it is part of Babergh district. The parish also contains the hamlets of Cock Street and Honey Tye, and in 2001 had a population of 1,373.

The village was named after the Leaven Heath, an area of open land between Boxford, Bures, Nayland and Polstead. It does not have a village centre, but is separated into two parts around half a mile apart by Leaden Hall. The northern section is to the east of the A134, the southern section to the west. Such is the dispersed nature of the village, that it did not even have a church until 1836, and was not designated as a parish until 1952.

The south-eastern part of the parish is covered by the Dedham Vale AONB, whilst the south-west contains a section of the Arger Fen SSSI. In the east of the parish are The Carrs, a set of four ponds that feed the River Stour. Breach Grove and Leadenhall Woods are both designated nature reserves.

The village sign was erected in 2002 to mark the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. It depicts St. Matthew's church, Honey Tye farm and (as with many Suffolk signs, such as nearby Boxord and Edwardstone) a windmill that no longer exists. A post mill which was demolished in March 1925.
