Kersey is a village and civil parish in the Babergh district in Suffolk, in the east of England. The main street has a ford across a stream. Its principal claim to fame is that a coarse woollen cloth called Kersey cloth takes its name from it. A particlar green colour is known as Kersey Green. The cloth was presumably originally made there, but later in many other places too.
