About

St Peter's ward covers a largely rural portion of Mid Suffolk, characterised by open farmland and scattered villages. The area includes the communities of Stonham Aspal, Earl Stonham, and Mickfield, which serve as local hubs. The landscape is defined by gently rolling fields and small woodlands, with agriculture being a central part of the local economy. Several small streams and the River Gipping flow through the ward, influencing the settlement patterns.

The ward is traversed by the A140 road, a major route connecting Ipswich to Norwich. A notable local landmark is the Stonham Barns complex, which includes retail, leisure, and a small owl sanctuary. The medieval church of St Mary in Stonham Aspal features a distinctive round tower. Community life often centres around village halls and the remaining traditional public houses in the settlements.
