    BURY ST. EDMUNDS AND ENVIRONS

    We will enter Suffolk from Cambridge by the Newmarket line. Within reach of Newmarket (of which I have nothing to say) is Exning, with St. Mindred's Well, described above (p. 14), and also another remarkable little place which until recently was in Suffolk, but now I believe belongs to Cambridgeshire, Landwade, long the seat of the Cottons—off the road, and consisting merely of church, ancient farmhouse, and moated site of a large mansion. The church, a cruciform building of 1445, is unrestored and little used, and contains good woodwork—roof, seats, screen—and considerable fragments of fifteenth-century glass: a St. Margaret is very notable; there are also remains of a series of Apostles.

    Reverting to the Newmarket-Cambridge line we observe that on the left—northwards—we soon get into the open heathy country, of which Mildenhall is the centre, and which borders on the fen; and on the right—southwards—find a more hilly and wooded region containing the highest ground in Suffolk: 420 ft., in the parish of Rede, is the county's best achievement. Of places near the line, Kennett on the north has recently discovered wall-paintings: one of the Three Dead and Three Living, a memento mori subject which may well have become popular in the years after the Black Death, though it was invented earlier.

  • Summary

    IN compiling this book I have made use largely of my own notes, taken at various times during the last fifty years, and considerably supplemented for the present purpose. But I do not pretend not to have drawn upon other people's work. Guide-books, in particular the Little Guides, have been most useful, and the Transactions of the Archæological Societies of the two counties, though these I have not consulted as much as I might have done. My debts to Blomefield's Norfolk and to Clement Ingleby's Supplement thereto are evident; but a very special acknowledgment is due to Mr. H. R. Barker, of the Bury Museum, for his excellent gazetteer, as it may be called, of Suffolk, published at Bury in 1907–9 in two divisions, for West and East Suffolk; it contains photographs of every church in the county, and a succinct description of each parish. It has been invaluable to me, and often have I wished that someone in Norfolk had carried out a similar survey of that county. Other books that have helped me find mention in my text: there, too, I have tried to show my consciousness that much is wanting. Still, I believe that there are an appreciable number of facts newly recorded, and many newly brought together here. The Index is the work of Miss M. H. James.
