St Cross, South Elmham is a very small, rural civil parish in East Suffolk, Suffolk, England, lying among the scattered South Elmham settlements just west of the River Waveney and close to the Norfolk border. The landscape is typically agricultural - arable fields, hedgerows and small copses - and the local population is sparse, with most day-to-day services and shops found in nearby market towns such as Halesworth or Bungay.
Like its neighbouring South Elmham parishes it has deep medieval roots and a quiet, village-scale character: historic parish boundaries, former manorial landscapes and traditional farm buildings shape the area. Socially and economically it’s dominated by farming and rural living, with growing interest from people seeking countryside homes, informal conservation and walking opportunities, and a low-key community life rather than organised civic institutions.
