The Saints, Suffolk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Saints are a group of villages in Suffolk, England, near the border with Norfolk. The villages are all named for a saint (that of their parish church), and either South Elmham or Ilketshall. South Elmham comes from the name of an early unit of the Church of England - North Elmham was in Norfolk, thirty miles away.
The Saints are
- St Cross South Elmham (church actually to Saint George)
- St James South Elmham
- St Margaret South Elmham
- St Mary South Elmham Otherwise Homersfield
- St Michael South Elmham
- St Nicholas South Elmham (church no longer present)
- St Peter South Elmham
- All Saints South Elmham
- Ilketshall St John
- Ilketshall St Lawrence
- St. Andrew, Ilketshall
Each of the villages also constitutes a civil parish, apart from All Saints and St Nicholas, which are joined together in the All Saints and St Nicholas, South Elmham parish.
St Michael is one of the Thankful Villages.
