Ringsfield is a village and civil parish in the English county of Suffolk located approximately 2 miles (3km) south-west of Beccles in the District of Waveney. The mid-2005 population estimate for Ringsfield parish was 340[1]. The modern village is concentrated around Ringsfield Corner crossroads[2], about 1 mile (1½km) south of the parish church. Weston is 1⅓ miles (2km) to the east, Redisham 2 miles (3km) to the south and Ilkesthall St Andrew 2 miles (3km) to the west.
The parish church is dedicated to All Saints[3]. The churchyard contains the grave and memorial of Princess Caroline Murat, great niece of Napolean Bonaparte[3][4]. The church is a Grade II* listed building[5]. The village has a primary school[6], village hall[2] and a public house[7] but few other services remain.
Redisham Hall is located in 400 acres of parkland[8] in Ringsfield parish, to the south-west of the village. It is an 18th Century[8] Grade II listed building[5]. Parts of the hall are now used as holiday cottages[8].
