St Peter, South Elmham is a very small, largely rural parish tucked into East Suffolk in Suffolk, England, one of the little settlements grouped around the market town of Bungay. The character is low‑lying farmland and hedged lanes with a scattering of farms and cottages; its quiet roads and proximity to the River Waveney and the Broads make it popular for walkers and anyone looking for a peaceful stretch of the Suffolk countryside.
The place has medieval roots and the surviving churchyard and old farmhouses hint at a long local history of manorial agriculture rather than industry. Today the local economy is dominated by arable and mixed farming alongside a few residents who commute to nearby towns, and its historic feel and simple village architecture keep it a discreet but well‑liked corner of the county.
