"LEVINGTON, a parish in the hundred of Colneis, county Suffolk, 5 miles S.E. of Ipswich, its railway station and post town, and 7 S. of Woodbridge. It is a small agricultural parish situated on the N. bank of the navigable river Orwell. It contains the small hamlet of Stratton Hall, and was the place where shell-sand was first used in 1718. The living is a rectory united to that of Nacton, in the diocese of Norwich. The church is dedicated to St. Peter. There was formerly a chapel-of-ease at Stratton, and a lazar-house. The charities produce about £15 per annum, chiefly the endowment of Hitcham's almshouses, founded in 1636. George Tomline, Esq., M.P., is lord of the manor."
