Brome is a village and former civil parish in the Mid Suffolk district, in the north of the English county of Suffolk. It lies on the A140 Norwich to Ipswich road around 1 mile (1.6 km) northwest of Eye and 2 miles (3.2 km) southeast of Diss near the border with Norfolk. In 1961 the parish had a population of 230.[1] The village is now in the parish of Brome and Oakley and has been combined with the village of Oakley for centuries[2] but the civil parish was only combined on 1 April 1982.[3]
The village church, dedicated to St Mary, is one of 38 existing round-tower churches in Suffolk.[4] It is a Grade II* listed building with a medieval core dating from the 12th century.[5] A moated site near the church is a scheduled monument dating from the same period.[6]
