Fornham All Saints is a small village and civil parish in West Suffolk, Suffolk, England, set on the floodplain of the River Lark a few miles north of Bury St Edmunds. The landscape is mainly arable and pasture, with pockets of parkland and historic cottages, giving the place a quietly rural feel while being within easy commuting distance of the nearby market town.
Historically the area is notable for the nearby 1173 Battle of Fornham at Fornham St Genevieve, and the parish retains a medieval church and several listed buildings. Local life is rooted in agriculture and small-scale enterprise, with community activities traditionally centred on the church and village hall, preserving a strong village identity despite modern commuter links.
