A relatively new parish set in the heart of Constable country which was formed from parts of the adjacent parishes of Assington, Nayland, Polstead & Stoke-by-Nayland in 1868. The church (St Mathew) was erected in 1835 with a register dating from 1863.
In 1952 local people, primarily the farming community, decided they would create a civil parish of Leavenheath and establish a parish council, using the earlier established ecclesiastical boundaries.
