Chantry is a suburban residential area in the south west district of Ipswich, in the county of Suffolk, England.

[1] Chantry has a public library, several pubs, shopping parades, a community centre and health care providers.

A hoard of Roman era gold was discovered during building work in Holcombe Crescent in 1968, with the initial find consisting of five Romano-British gold torcs (decorative neck rings).

The items show design features associated with the Iron Age La Tène culture, & are thought to date from around 75 BC.

The find’s proximity to the Belstead Brook has led to speculation that this hoard was associated with a spring or holy well in the area.
