Little Livermere

Little Livermere is a village and civil parish in England situated about 5 miles (8 km) north of Bury St Edmunds, in an area of Suffolk known as the Breckland.

In 1688 the Rector, James Paston, published a 39 page pamphlet supporting the repeal of the penal laws.

[1] The village was almost entirely demolished in the 18th century when a park and mere were created in the grounds of the stately home, Livermere Hall, which was itself destroyed in 1923.

All that remains of the village is the much decayed Church of St Peter and St Paul, which is roofless and considered unsafe, and a farmhouse that stands adjacent to the church on the edge of Ampton Water.
