Barnham is a small village and civil parish in the district of West Suffolk in the county of Suffolk, England. It sits in a largely agricultural landscape on the fringe of the distinctive Breckland heath and feels like a quietly traditional East Anglian settlement with a handful of period cottages and farmsteads rather than a built-up centre.
Historically the village grew up around farming and many aspects of village life still reflect that rural economy, though a proportion of residents now commute to nearby towns. The community is centred on its parish church and a few listed buildings, and the surrounding lanes and heathland make it popular with walkers and birdwatchers; local clubs and occasional village events help sustain a close-knit social life.
