Church Farm, St Nicholas South Elmham

St Nicholas South Elmham is a tiny hamlet in northern Suffolk; one of the group of seven villages southwest of Bungay known as South Elmham, and part of the wider group known as "The Saints".

St Nicholas is the middlemost of the South Elmham villages, the others forming an informal ruing around it. It sits quiet in the fen on a lane running south from the edge of St Margaret and on to St James.

St Nicholas is part of the parish of Rumburgh with South Elmham All Saints, and St Nicholas (and of the civil parish of All Saints and St Nicholas. There is no active church in St Nicholas but the ruin of the old church of St Nicholas stands to the east of the village, at Church Farm, a moated farm. The last incumbent at the church was installed in 1557.
