All Saints South Elmham is a little village 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".

All Saints in in the south-east of the South Elmham villages, just to the north of the village of Rumburgh, and with St Michael to the north and St Nicholas to the north-west.

All Saints' Church

It is within the parish of Rumburgh with South Elmham All Saints, and St Nicholas, joining those three villages. Its church, St Michael and St Felix, is beside Abbey Farm between All Saints and Rumburgh. It looks a little unusual, with its truncated tower, a 13th-century construction unlike the run of Suffolk churches and built as the church of a Benedictine priory founded shortly before the Norman conquest.

The village with St Nicholas form a joint is a civil parish.
