Dating back to Roman times, Earl Stonham is most famous for its church. St. Mary's Church is known for its ornately carved single hammerbeam roof which depict many different scenes, including court jesters, foxes, and many angels.
Much of the village life revolves around the village hall, located in the centre of the village. It is the home to a thriving cricket club, and a youth club.
