Suffolk - A Second Selection Photographic Memories
These cottages on the green, against the backdrop of the church, are probably the most photographed houses in Suffolk. Church Cottages, or Hyde Park Corner Cottages, are five almshouses run by the George Savage Trust. In 1971 they were severely damaged by fire, and were rebuilt and reopened in 1972. To the left is the sign of the Five Bells.

Sudbury, Lavenham and Long Melford Photographic Memories
The church of St Andrew with its distinctive wooden spire was restored in 1862. The south aisle with its square-headed windows was rebuilt in 1887 by a bequest of William King. The gable cross has gone, and clock faces have been inserted into the tower roundels; otherwise the view is unchanged today.
