The Norwich Crag Formation is a stratigraphic unit of the British Pleistocene Epoch. It is the second youngest unit of the Crag Group, a sequence of four geological formations spanning the Pliocene to Lower Pleistocene transition in East Anglia. It was deposited between approximately 2.4 and 1.8 million years ago, during the Gelasian Stage. The Norwich Crag is a marginal facies of the thicker, much better developed sedimentary sequence in the southern North Sea basin. It outcrops in the eastern half of the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, and is also represented in Essex and Hertfordshire. It was deposited in a near-shore environment, and comprises a range of sands, silty clays and flint-rich gravels representing various transgressive and regressive marine episodes. It rests in some places on the Red Crag Formation and in others unconformably on Coralline Crag, Palaeogene formations and Chalk Group bedrock. It is overlain by the Wroxham Crag Formation, and unconformably by the Kesgrave Catchment Subgroup (part of the Dunwich Group) and Mid Pleistocene glacigenic deposits. Norwich Crag fossil fauna and flora have been studied since the 19th century for information about environmental conditions during the early Pleistocene. They provide evidence for a general climatic cooling trend from the Pliocene to the Pleistocene.

The civil parish had a population of 224 at the 2011 Census. The centre of the village is a Conservation area with numerous historic and listed buildings including its Grade I listed church, The Crown Inn, Crown House and K6 telephone box. The place-name 'Glemham' is first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as Gl(i)emham, in the manors of Edwin Grim and Spearhafoc of Glaimham. Eilert Ekwall comments: "The first element of the names is possibly Old English glēam 'merriment'..." By analogy with Glandford in Norfolk, 'Glemham' could mean the 'village where sports were held'.Glemham House was built by Samuel Kilderbee in 1814 to the designs of Thomas Hopper and is the seat of the Earls of Cranbrook and Gathorne-Hardy family. With strong connections between the family and Benjamin Britten, the house hosted some of the earlier and more intimate performances of the Aldeburgh Festival of Music and the Arts including a notable recording by Julian Bream and Peter Pears. An earlier Glemham House, located closer to the village itself, had in the late eighteenth century been the home of George Crabbe, the author of the poem The Borough which formed the basis of Britten's 1945 masterpiece Peter Grimes. Britten worked closely with another Glemham resident, the librettist Eric Crozier, on many of his operatic compositions including The Little Sweep. Although set at nearby Iken Hall, the child characters in this work were transplanted from Glemham House, at that time the home of Jock and Fidelity Cranbrook. Both personal friends of the composer, Fidelity was also chair of the newly formed Aldeburgh Festival. Britten and Crozier adopted the names and personas of Jock and Fidelity's children and nephews for the opera, and the opera is "affectionately dedicated to the real Gay, Juliet, Sophie, Tina, Hughie, Jonny and Sammy – the Gathorne-Hardys of Great Glemham, Suffolk."
