It is on the southern bank of the River Blyth across the river by bridge from Holton; it forms part of Wenhaston with Mells Hamlet civil parish that, in turn, forms part of East Suffolk district.
The place-name 'Mells' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as Mealla. The name simply means 'mills', from the Old English 'mylen'.[1]
