Suffolk memories
Joseph Culling was my Great Great Grandfather, he was born in Offton in 1819. He married an Eliza who was born in 1802 in Semer, they had 4 children, Charles, Emma, Patience and Dinah (my great grandmother).

Bury St Edmunds Town and City Memories
This tower was built between 1120 and 1148 as the main entrance to the Abbey, the churchyard and the two parish churches. It was also the belfry for St James's. It was flanked by the high Abbey precinct wall, and the arched entrance with supporting towers formed a porch.
