This place has a terrific history, which is well documented with various displays and brochures. The dimensions of the church are amazing for such a small town with it measuring 168 feet long & 65 feet wide, reflecting the historic wealth of the area. Parts of the church date back to 1220 and there are some wonderful features to view, namely The Angel Roof, which is probably one of the finest in the country. Carvings on the end of the pews in very intricate. The congregation have also put together a display that takes you through the centuries, giving details of the town, church & monarchy at the time, which is very well done & interesting. There is no entry fee but donations are always welcome. normally closes at about 4.00p.m. each day. Behind the church is a row of Almshouses dating back to 1722 but fully renovated in 1976 & then updated with local support in 2008. A wonderful church & well worth a visit.

We septuagenarians went to Kentwell Hall, for the first time, to the lambing & Spring bulb walk event. at the weekend. It was a perfect March day, plenty of sunshine and not too warm for walking. We enjoyed every bit our day out. The woodland walk and swathes of daffodils alongside the moat were a delight. We heard and saw a nuthatch calling from a tree top, listened to great tits and watched numerous brimstone butterflies. We marvelled at the great cedars on the cedar lawn, tried the human sundial (it worked!) and sat on a bench in the sunshine in the walled garden, admiring the wonderful Pied Piper topiary. We tried everything; the dark and spooky ice house, the fascinating Camera Obscura and made a mental note to return in the summertime to see the walled garden again, the sunken garden, fish pond and rose garden etc. We joined the families to aah and ooh over the newborn lambs and saw the biggest pigs we've ever seen, along with their two-week old piglets. We took 'framed' photos in in the barn, explored the pottery wood, which we thought would be interesting on re-creation days and also the forge, which again, we would like to see being used. Our lunch of vegetable soup was delicious. The staff were even able to rustle up a gluten-free roll for me (extra points for that!). There was so much for children to do too. The little adventure playground with its unusual games looked great fun, as did the Storybook Trail. We finally dragged ourselves away at 3.30pm, promising ourselves a summer visit when we can view the house as well as making a return visit to the gardens.

Come to Ipswich during the 2nd weekend in September and pick up a "open heritage" booklet and visit this grade 2 listed building designed by Norman Foster in the 1970s. the outside is hung smoked glass, and the interiors are yellow and green as Norman Foster was, reportedly a Norwich City supporter. Have a cup of tea in the cafe situated at the top of a series of esculators running through the middle of the building, and sit in the most famous roof lawn in East Anglia.

Giles cartoons appeared in the express . I used to get a book with the cartoons in at Christmas. Most didn't have words as the pictures told there own stories. The statue is one of the Giles characters . He was born in Ipswich and the council have done a good job.
