Most of the old houses
in this fascinating village on the River
Waveney were burned down in fires during the
16th and 17th centuries but were replaced with
superb Georgian buildings in a variety of
subtle colours.
Many of the roofs are made from black glazed
tiles so typical of this picturesque area. St
Michael’s Church dates to the mid-14th
century. Its detached, four-storey bell tower
added in 1500 stands nearly 100 feet high and
was sold to the local council in 1977 for the
princely sum of one penny. |
