Norfolk and Suffolk have some of the oldest preserved Ancient houses in England - many dating from the 15th Century - that means they were built during the 1400's, Ally.
When we went through to Ipswich and then Southwold, we passed a LOT of really old places. There are quite a few in Ipswich itself but we couldn't park near them for me to get a shot, so I've stolen images off Google. Here goes ...

| Leaning house - Lavenham |

| Crooked house Lavenham (most are crooked actually) |

| Another old house in Lavenham |

| Stratford Saint Mary - Ancient house |
These houses are by no means isolated examples, there are hundreds, if not thousands of wattle and daub preserved homes in East Anglia. Harry Potter and other movies used Lavenham's Ancient houses in their settings.

ReplyDeleteLots of history in this part of the world ... the Brits like to preserve all their old fossils, not knock em down and build concrete shopping malls :)

ReplyDeleteWell done Faye on an exemplary report, brilliant work. Now those buildings aren't very old...there used to be a lot more pubs in the area...
ReplyDeleteLooks a bit chilly by the sea, but in summer it should be great.
