Although it has a galaxy of fine old buildings
dating from the Middle Ages through to the
Victorian age, the real delight in Diss is a
six-acre mere which stands at the centre of
this small market town.
In fact the town’s
name derives from an Anglo-Saxon word meaning
‘standing water’. Lying on the River Waveney,
the town’s church stands at the head of a
triangular market square. The nearby Tudor
mansion Gissing Hall, set in five acres of
beautiful countryside, is now holiday
accommodation. |
