Chedburgh is a small village in Suffolk. It stands on the A143 between Haverhill and Bury St Edmunds, about five miles south-west of the latter. In 2005 its population was estimated at 650.
The village spreads along the A413, known hereabouts as Bury Road, and north up The Street. The village of Chevington lies to the north-west along Chevington Road. Down a lane to the south is the tiny village of Rede and to the west is Depden.
Chedburgh is mainly a farming village but there are industrial units here also. The ugly factory units hug the south side of the A413 and the hidden outskirt of the village though and leave Chedburgh at heart to be a pleasant village. It is on the relatively high ground provided by the Newmarket Ridge and so has two large radio transmitters placed nearby: one in the village and the other to the south at Great Wood (Suffolk's county top).
The parish church is All Saints, along Bury Road. It is part of the Suffolk Heights Benefice, grouping the Parishes of Chedburgh, Chevington, Depden, Hargrave, Hawkedon and Rede.
The village has a village hall: the Erskine Hall and a number of local clubs meet there are around the village: the Thursday Club, and the Brownies, while the Lunch Club meets at the pub, The Marquis Cornwallis and an active Hobbies Club meets in Chevington Village Hall, as does the Women's Institute for the villages.
