Little Ellingham is a small rural community in the district of Breckland, Norfolk, England, sitting among the sandy soils and open arable fields that characterise this part of East Anglia. The parish is modest in size and population, with a mix of farmsteads, a few notable country houses and lanes that link it to neighbouring villages such as Great Ellingham and the market town of Attleborough.
Life in Little Ellingham feels quintessentially rural: agriculture remains important, while many residents commute to larger centres like Norwich or Thetford for work and services. There are echoes of a long history in the layout and buildings, and community activity tends to revolve around local events and the wider village network rather than any large commercial centre.
