Thornham Magna is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Mid Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England. It sits in gently rolling arable countryside close to the tiny hamlet of Thornham Parva and the market town of Eye, with larger centres such as Ipswich within commuting distance, making it popular with walkers and people seeking a quiet Suffolk hinterland.
The village contains a number of listed timber‑framed and Georgian houses and lies within a conservation area, so its historic character is a strong draw; nearby Thornham Parva church is notable for housing the famous 15th‑century Thornham Parva Retable. Local life remains rooted in farming and community events, with a small local economy bolstered by rural tourism and residents who commute to surrounding towns.
