Horham (pronounced 'Horrum') is a village in the county of Suffolk, in the East Anglia region of eastern England, United Kingdom. Horham is located approximately halfway between Norwich and Ipswich, and also approximately halfway between Eye and Stradbroke on the B1117 road.
== History == The village is old; some say it was a Viking settlement. There are some houses that are known to have been built in the 15th century. The old Dragon Inn - now known as Dragon House - is believed to date back to about 1525. From the 11th century until the late 18th century, it is documented as one of the parishes within Hoxne Hundred. The village contains a church, St. Mary of Horham, of Norman origin, but much improved in the years either side of 1500.
