Suffolk memories

Livin' good

During the 1960s while stationed at RAF Bentwaters I, with my family, lived at #6 Broad Road, in Wickham Market. Our landlord was Richard Upson, who with his family lived on one side of the house and we occupied the other side. Our neighbour was Police Sergeant Alan Airey who has since passed away.

The Black and White Cottages

My great grandparents, my nanna (and all of her siblings)and my mother all lived in this house. I'm not sure of the timeframe but it was for a number of years. My mom had many fond memories and stories of the crinkly wall across the street, as well as the 5 Bridges. My family name is Harvey. ... [more]

Suffolk - A Second Selection Photographic Memories

The 15th-century tower has flushwork patterns on the battlements and buttresses. Below the nave roof is a row of blocked windows, indicating that there was a plan to build an aisle, which was never carried out. The Greyhound was probably the medieval Guildhall. The landlord in 1929 was William Brooks. The building is unchanged except for the addition of a porch.... [more]

Suffolk Living Memories

The 15th-century tower has flushwork patterns on the buttresses and parapet. The eastern buttresses are unusual in that they are extensions of the nave west wall. Below the nave roof is a row of blocked quatrefoil windows, although the aisles were never built. The chancel and vestry date from 1894.

Ispwich Pocket Album

St Mary's, one of the largest in Suffolk, is not a typical Suffolk wool church, and has an elegant lead spire. Inside is the 600-year-old Angelus Bell, one of the oldest in the country, which is inscribed 'Ave Maria Gracia Plena Dominus Tecum'. Perhaps the man who made the bell had other things on his mind when it came to putting in the inscription, as he forgot to invert the words laterally in... [more]
