Welcome to the Syleham Parish
website |
Syleham is a parish in the north of Suffolk, bordering the River
Waveney. It is 6 miles NE of the attractive and historic small town
of Eye, which is its post town, and 3 ½ miles SW of Harleston,
which is just over 
the border in Norfolk and is a small market town with an excellent
range of independent shops and a small supermarket.
Syleham formed part of the hundred of Hoxne. The parish is quite
spread out but is a friendly place, with just 181 names
currently on the electoral roll. It has long since lost its school,
shops and pubs but there are various traces of its
history to be found. Meanwhile, the
church offers regular services and the
village hall is well used.
If you need somewhere to stay or to eat, or want to know who's who
and what's what, open the useful information
page.
Syleham has recently published a
Parish Plan and some of the agreed
initiatives are now being taken forward.
This website was originally an
initiative of the Parish Council.
