Earl Soham is a small village and civil parish in East Suffolk, Suffolk, England, set amid gently rolling arable countryside a few miles from the market town of Framlingham and within commuting distance of Ipswich. The settlement features a traditional village green, a medieval parish church and a scattering of period cottages and farm buildings that reflect its long agricultural history.
With medieval roots - the "Earl" element of the name signalling historic manorial links - the village retains a quiet, close-knit community life centred on the village hall, church events and occasional fetes. The local economy remains largely rural, though many residents commute to nearby towns, and the area is popular with walkers and visitors who appreciate a quintessential Suffolk countryside atmosphere.
