The village and civil parish of Fornham All Saints lies just to the north‑west of Bury St Edmunds in West Suffolk, Suffolk, England. It is one of a cluster of settlements along the River Lark, alongside Fornham St Martin and Fornham St Genevieve, and retains a strongly rural feel with river meadows, lanes and medieval traces such as the parish church; the neighbourhood is also associated with the nearby historic site of the 12th‑century Battle of Fornham.
These days Fornham All Saints combines farming with a commuter population who use Bury St Edmunds for shops and services, while village life revolves around community groups, a village hall and several listed buildings. The parish is valued for its quiet lanes, public footpaths and conservation-minded character rather than heavy industry, making it a peaceful outlying community of the Bury St Edmunds area.
