Babergh

Babergh

      district, administrative and historic county of Suffolk, England. Babergh extends across the southern part of Suffolk. Babergh includes much of the area made familiar by the paintings of John Constable (Constable, John) (1776–1837), who was born within the district at East Bergholt and whose family owned mills there and at Flatford. It also includes a group of small towns—Lavenham, Lindsey, and Kersey—whose history and prosperity were bound with the region's medieval woolen industry; the towns still preserve the splendid churches and many of the period houses of their great days. Hadleigh, the administrative centre, and Sudbury are the largest towns in the district today. Area 230 square miles (595 square km). Pop. (2001) 83,462.
