Earl Stonham

Scattered around three greens either side of the A 1120, we have much to offer visitors and residents alike. Forward Green straddles the main road with Middlewood Green to the north and Broad Green to the west. Together with Earl Stonham on the A140 to the east, they each hold clusters of houses, some very old and some very new, providing homes for folk from all walks of life. Such variety gives the village its own special character.

At this time of year our familiar routines are interrupted by annual rituals deeply seated in our history, And whatever our faith may be, we can welcome them as a sign of the turning of another season.

So here we see that the tree has arrived, and will soon be covered in sparkling lights. Later, it will provide focus for our Carols on the Green, but it also sends a message to passers-by that our community is alive and well, and still doing what it always has.

There is a publicly available Defibrillator by the entrance to The Village Hall.

Offering books from a wide selection, our Mobile Library is one of three vehicles covering the whole County. It arrives at 12.20 pm on the same day as the Village Lunch and stays until 12.50 pm.

Andy has been operating our Library for the last 14 years and enjoys meeting his regular borrowers, many of whom he knows by name.

As well as books, The Library Service now offers free access to newspapers through its new PressReader service. This service provides access to full digital editions of nearly all major national UK newspapers, including The Guardian, The Observer, The Independent, The Daily Telegraph, Sunday Telegraph, Daily Mail, Daily Express, Mirror and Daily Star.
