A little background information. There are pubs from just over a mile away one in Thorpe Morieux and two in Cockfield and also a little Post Office with some provisions and a Petrol Garage in the neighboring village of Cockfield 2 miles away. Lavenham, the charming little medieval market town is just 3 miles away. Here you can discover the impressive Church originally funded by the local wool and weaving industies, and the famous Guildhall with it's fascinating museum. The Guildhall has been used as a backdrop in the making of several films and of course the whole town is crammed with wonderful half timbered houses some leaning at precarious angles. You can spend hours just wondering around the little side streets coming across interesting details of architecture or history. Lavenham has a great selection of pubs and restaurants dotted around the streets interspersed with a myriad of interesting shops, there is an excelent Baker with home made crusty loaves warm from the oven, an excellent Butcher with properly hung meat and a selection of home made pies plus tasty extras and Deli for the best wirecut cheeses, local and further afield plus other delicasies as well as a nice selection of fruit and veg and of course, for all your day to day needs a CO-OP. There are the small market towns of Sudbury with Long Melford nearby to the South and Bury St Edmunds to the North all about 7 miles away. All with local charm, lovely historic architecture, great churches and pubs galore! Local Market Days. |
