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 ring around it. It sits quiet in the fen on a lane running south from the edge of St Margaret and on to St James.
The church of St Nicholas was in ruins by the 17th-century. The last incumbent at the church was installed in 1557. By the early 20th-century only a cross survived marking the position of the building.[1] The parish church is now All Saints Church, South Elmham, although it is formally redundant and cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust.[2][3]
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.
