MenuLeiston, Suffolk
Leiston is a town in Suffolk. The 14th-century remains of Leiston Abbey lie north-west of the town. Leiston thrived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a manufacturing town, dominated by Richard Garrett & Sons, owners of Leiston Works. In 1927, A. S. Neill relocated Summerhill School from Lyme Regis to Leiston. This was the first major "free school" – referring to freedom in education. The town is within the council area of East Suffolk (Suffolk).
