Earl Stonham is a small village and civil parish in Mid Suffolk, Suffolk, England, set amid rolling arable countryside a few miles from the market town of Stowmarket. The settlement shows its long history in a medieval parish church and several timber‑framed cottages, and the "Earl" prefix points to historic manorial connections that shaped local landholding.
Today the economy is largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns, while village life remains centred on the church, village hall and occasional local events; there is a quiet, close‑knit feel and ongoing local interest in preserving traditional Suffolk buildings and landscape features.
