Josphen Culling

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). Does anyone know of this family, they are very elusive and I cannot find many references to them.

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.
