A visitors guide to the pretty Suffolk village of Monks Eleigh. You
would naturally assume that a village with a name like Monks Eleigh
would have once been the home of monks. However, this is not the
case. Although the manor did once belong to the monks of Canterbury,
they never resided here.
The attractive church of St. Peter is well worth a visit, with its
buttresses and stair tower. The main road follows the meandering River
Brett, with Swingleton Green on the opposite side and slightly higher
up.
The village has a village shop and post office and local pub/inn The
Swan. Parts of the Swan Inn date back to the 14th century, here
you can enjoy a drink or have something to eat. The Swan uses produce in
season and their menu reflects this, changing almost daily and is
influenced by the fresh ingredients available from their local butcher,
fish, or vegetables supplier.
