The Sign
The village sign is situated on the A12 in the centre of the village at the junction with Church Road. There have been two village signs at the same location. The first one was designed and made by a local schoolgirl, Rachel Hebbs and with a little help from local people and businesses to back her design, the local council decided to have it erected in the village. The iron frame that the sign stands in was built by Terry Pearce of Bredfield. The new sign is double sided, with the same theme on both. The theme is similar to the first sign but incorporating more buildings and features, including the following: Glemham Hall, St Andrew’s church, the Old School House, Blaxhall Mill, the Rive Alde and The Lion Inn public house.

The Name and Population
Little Glemham is a small village situated on the A12, north of Woodbridge and west of Aldeburgh, with a population of 187 (2011 Census). Little Glemham was listed in the Domesday Book as ‘Glaimham’, which could have meant a homestead or village noted for its revelry or games from the Old English, “gleam + ham”.
