'''Hemingstone''' is a village and [civil parish](/source/civil_parish) in the [Mid Suffolk](/source/Mid_Suffolk) district of [Suffolk](/source/Suffolk) in eastern England located 6.5 miles (11&nbsp;km) north of [Ipswich](/source/Ipswich). In 2011 the parish had a population of 244.

Hemingstone lies in the hundred of [Bosmere](/source/Bosmere). It is a small parish devoted largely to fruit farming with no significant amenities other than the village hall known as "Hemingstone Hut". The residents shop at the adjacent village of [Coddenham](/source/Coddenham) if they do not choose to go further afield. The largest employer in the village is Stonham Hedgerow, a family business manufacturing jams and preserves.

==History==
According to the 13th century ''[Liber Feodorum](/source/Liber_Feodorum)'' (Book of Fees), the [fee tail](/source/fee_tail) granted to [Roland the Farter](/source/Roland_the_Farter) for the manor was [conditioned](/source/condition_subsequent) on the performance of ''"unum saltum et siffletum et unum bumbulum"'' (one jump, one whistle, and one fart) at the king's court every Christmas.

In 1597 the entire parish was cited before a church court for laxity. This may have been the influence of the incumbent manorial lord, Ralph Cantrell, a recusant Catholic.

[Hemingstone Hall](/source/Hemingstone_Hall) is a brick-built Jacobean country house built in the early 17th century. It is a Grade I [listed building](/source/listed_building).<ref>{{NHLE|num=1182536|desc=HEMINGSTONE HALL AND ATTACHED GARDEN WALLS ON THE SOUTH WEST SIDE|accessdate=22 February 2018}}</ref>

The Suffolk folk singer [Percy Webb](/source/Percy_Webb) was born in Hemingstone in 1897.

==Parish church==
The parish church is dedicated to [St. Gregory](/source/Pope_Gregory_I) and is Grade I listed.<ref>{{NHLE|num=1182641|desc=CHURCH OF ST GREGORY|fewer-links=yes|accessdate=22 February 2018}}</ref> It lies away from the village.
