 allikat Says:  Holy Trinity church was built during the 15th Century, with the exception of its tower - a very recent addition that was added as late as 1903. The church is huge, a typical statement by the medieval wool and cloth merchants that funded its building, using it as an...

Kentwell Hall, Long Melford

 allikat Says:  Kentwell Hall is a magnificent moated Tudor building set in extensive grounds. A long, tree-lined avenue leads you to what is a privately-owned family home, but one very open and accessable to the public - open air concerts, Tudor recreation days and ghost tours are regular...

 Long is right. One of the longest streets for a small village. A village that still has some interesting buildings. Several antique shops make a stroll more interesting.
