Welcome to Syleham

Syleham is a small village located in the county of Suffolk, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Waveney, which forms the border between Suffolk and Norfolk. The village has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. The name Syleham is believed to have originated from the Old English words "sylf" and "ham", meaning "elf home" or "elf village".

One of the most notable landmarks in Syleham is the St. Margaret's Church, which dates back to the 14th century. The church is built in the Perpendicular style and features a beautiful tower with eight bells. The interior of the church is adorned with intricate carvings and stained glass windows, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. The village also has a number of other historic buildings, including the Syleham Hall, which was built in the 17th century and is now a private residence.

Despite its small size, Syleham has a strong sense of community and is home to a number of local businesses and amenities. The village has a primary school, a post office, and a village hall, which hosts a range of events throughout the year. There are also several pubs and restaurants in the area, serving traditional English cuisine and locally brewed ales. Syleham is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it a popular destination for walkers and cyclists looking to explore the scenic landscape of Suffolk.
