News Flashes Next Parish Council Meeting  18th May 2012 AGM 7.30pm Six Charities Fete Saturday 26th May 2pm at Stone House

Great Glemham is an attractive Suffolk village situated a mile or two to the west of the busy A12 and roughly equidistant between Framlingham and Saxmundham. The parish takes the shape of an irregular triangle formed by two clay ridges flanking the channel of a seasonal watercourse, the Gull, flowing NW to SE to join the upper River Alde which forms its eastern boundary. The heart of the village is centred around a staggered cross road and contains some fifty dwellings as well as the fine 14C All Saints Church, the Crown Inn and the recently modernised village hall.

Although small, with a population of around 200, the village prides itself on being a lively community. There are several clubs and societies, many of which meet in the very well appointed village hall and informal gatherings at the bar of the Crown are not unknown.

Although, alas, there is no longer a permanent village store, the village is served by a regular milkman and a grocer, a greengrocer and a fishmonger make weekly visits.
