Chelsworth is a village and civil parish in the Babergh district, in the county of Suffolk, England.

Built on the north bank of the River Brett, the entire village is classified as a conservation area,[2] and contains numerous listed buildings.

Chelsworth has been settled for at least 1,000 years, as there are documents recording that King Edgar gave the village to Queen Æthelflæd in 962.

All Saints', the present church building in the west of the village, is mainly 14th and 15th century and is completely cement rendered.

The famous ‘Chelsworth Open Gardens Day’ has been held on the last Sunday in June for nearly 50 years.
