Huntingfield is a village near the B1117 road, in the Suffolk Coastal district, in the county of Suffolk, England close to the source of the river Blyth. Nearby settlements include the town of Halesworth and the villages of Walpole, Heveningham, Cookley and Laxfield.
The church of St Mary is a fine example of East Anglian late Medieval work. The nave and chancel roofs were painted by Mildred Holland, the wife of the Rector, in the style of the 15th century, over a period of seven years starting in 1859. Other furnishings were either painted by her, or are memorials to her.
In 1870-72 John Marius Wilson described Huntingfield as,
"a village and a parish in Blything district, Suffolk. The village stands 4½ miles SW of Halesworth r. station. The parish comprises 2,134 acres; and its post town is Halesworth". [2]
In 2011 the population, according to the 2011 census was 188. [3]
