For those unfamiliar with the area, Little Glemham is a rural village with a population of about 190 and is situated near the coast of Suffolk, 16 miles North of the county town of Ipswich.
Nearby places of interest include the market town of Woodbridge, which is noted for its Tide Mill and the Sutton Hoo archaeological site, and also Snape Maltings, the home of the Aldeburgh Festival.

Little Glemham has many fine listed buildings, including a 19th century school house, the Grade 1 St. Andrew’s Church and of course the Grade 1 Glemham Hall, once the home of Sir Thomas Glemham. Sadly, the school has long since closed and the building is now a private house and we no longer have any shops or a Post Office, either.
We are however fortunate in having a flourishing local pub, The Lion Inn, a fine listed building in the centre of the village.
Of course, like any small town or village, Little Glemham has its problems to deal with, some small, some large. Some of those can be found in our Village Issues pages.
On the plus side, many social events are well supported. A lot of events are held in the grounds of Glemham Hall throughout the year.
Our bell ringing team has lapsed due to the leading member having moved out of the district, but not before we managed to make a recording of them in action. Click here to hear the bells.
