REDLINGFIELD is a village and parish, in Hartismere hundred, union, and rural deanery, Eye county court district, Suffolk archdeaconry, and Norwich diocese, West Suffolk, 7 miles east from Finningham station, and 3 south-by-east from Eye. The church, an old building without a tower, was formerly a chapel to a Benedictine nunnery, founded here in 1120, and in a hole in the south wall are a swarm of bees that followed the corpse of Mrs. Cracknell, of this place, above 40 years ago, where they have remained ever since.

The living is a perpetual curacy, gross annual value �71 5s. per annum, in the gift of Sir Robert Shafto Adair, Bart., of Flixton, near Bungay, and held by the Rev, Charles Notly, B.D., of St. John's College.
