In Search of Secret Suffolk

Overview

A souvenir and guide to Suffolk

A delightful book of discovery which explores the heritage and subtle landscape of Suffolk. Lavishly illustrated, it follows the course of each of Suffolk’s rivers and looks at the towns, villages, stately homes and churches that grew up in their valleys. Robert Leader also charts the medieval history and tradition of the once great abbeys, castles and guildhalls.
