Palgrave is a rural ward in the district of Mid Suffolk in Suffolk, England, sitting close to the county border with Norfolk and within easy reach of the market town of Diss. The area is characterised by rolling farmland, hedgerows and pockets of woodland, with a scattering of traditional cottages and a parish church that hint at a long settled landscape.
Locally the ward retains a strong village feel, with community life often centred on the church, village hall and occasional local events; economically it remains largely agricultural but many residents commute to nearby towns such as Norwich or Ipswich. Historic buildings and lanes give the place a quiet, timeless character while contemporary life balances farming, small-scale rural businesses and residential diversity.
