The Suffolk Landscape

The first book with this title appeared 30 years ago, whose author, a much honoured historian, is a native of Suffolk and has been involved in research into its history since 1945. Now, he has made a fresh approach to his subject, with the benefit of three more decades of research to provide a new interpretation of the history and evolution of the Suffolk landscape. He scans the county’s varied faces and explains its successive makers, from the earliest to the present inhabitants who have left their mark … on coasts, estuaries, fields, hedgerows and vernacular buildings.
