Weston is a village and civil parish in the English county of Suffolk. It is around 2 miles (3 km) south of Beccles in the East Suffolk district. The parish lies either side of the A145 road and is crossed by the Ipswich to Lowestoft railway line. Neighbouring parishes include Ellough, Ringsfield, Willingham St Mary and Shadingfield. The village is largely dispersed with a population of around 230.[a] The village has few services and a joint parish council covers both Ringsfield and Weston. The village once had a school, on King's Lane, and a public house, the Duke of Marlborough on the main A145. Both are now closed and the major centre of population in the parish is to the west where it borders Ringsfield Corner. The parish church is medieval in origin and dedicated to St Peter. It has a primarily Norman core and is a Grade I listed building. The parish was combined with that of All Saints Church, Ellough in the 1970s.
