Burgh is a village and civil parish in the Suffolk Coastal district of Suffolk, England, about 3.5 miles (6 km) north-west of Woodbridge.
St. Boltoph's church stands near the site of a Roman villa that stretches towards Clopton churchyard. The body of St Botolph is supposed to have lain in the church until 680, when it was removed by monks from the abbey at Bury St Edmunds.
The population is about 200, but that may be counting the dogs and horses as well. Because of its small size there is no parish council, and no parish rate is levied. Instead, there is a Parish Meeting to which all villagers are invited, and which meets two or three times a year to discuss the affairs of the village.
Several artists and craftsmen live and work in the village.
The neighbouring village of Grundisburgh and the towns of Woodbridge and Ipswich provide shops and all business and commercial services.
