The parish is in a rural location.[2] It borders Ilketshall St Andrew, Westhall, Brampton with Stoven, Shadingfield, Weston and Ringsfield.[1] The village is on the eastern border of the parish, with some of the housing in it across the border in Shadingfield.[2]
The village has limited services, although Brampton railway station on the East Suffolk Line is closer to Redisham than it is to Brampton.[2] The parish church is dedicated to St Peter.[3][4] It is a Grade I listed building with a Norman doorway[3][4] and has been the site of a church since the 10th Century. It is reported to be the smallest church in Suffolk with only 60 seats.[3]
The author Adrian Bell farmed a smallholding in the village during World War II.[5] This was the childhood home of his children, translator Anthea Bell and the journalist and politician Martin Bell.[2]
Redisham Hall is located to the north of the village but is in Ringsfield parish.[2]
