Sternfield is a village in Suffolk, England. It is located 1 mile (2 km) south of Saxmundham, its post town. The village is very small and irregularly built, and is wholly agricultural. The village contains a church dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene.
During the 1960's and 1970's Lt. Col. Sir Eric and Lady Prue Penn lived at Sternfield House, a large house next to the church with extensive gardens and as Sir Eric was the comptroler of the Lord Chamberlain's office and was a very trusted presence in Buckingham Palace, senior members of the royal family came and stayed at Sternfield House on a number of occasions. Princess Margaret came most often, but the Queen also came at least once and attended St Mary Magdalene's, as did the Queen Mother.
