Earl Stonham

Earl Stonham is a small village located in the heart of Suffolk, United Kingdom, five miles away from the market town of Stowmarket.

Dating back to Roman times, Earl Stonham is one of three Stonhams in the area – the other two are Stonham Aspal and Stonham Parva. Earl Stonham can be divided into three separate greens: Forward Green, Broad Green, and Middlewood Green.

Earl Stonham is most famous for its church. St. Mary's Church is known for its ornately carved single hammerbeam roof which depict many different scenes, including court jesters, foxes, and many angels.

Much of the village life revolves around the village hall, located in the centre of the village. It is the home to a thriving [http://earlstonhamcricketclub.co.uk/ cricket club] , and a youth club.

Earl Stonham is a local hotspot for recreational walkers, with beautiful countryside and gentle footpaths offering hours of footstepping for even the occasional rambler.
