Originally built by Thomas Seckford in 1575, the upper part of the Shire Hall was used for judicial purposes while the ground floor served as an open corn market.

The tower is one of Suffolk's biggest and dramatic in the landscape, the exquisite flintwork in the magnificent north porch and in the tower battlements will draw you to this church. The tower rises over 30 metres and is one of the finest in England.

This hauntingly beautiful 255-acre estate, with far-reaching views over the River Deben is home to one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time.

The earliest record of a tide mill on this site by the River Deben is in 1170. It was owned by the Augustinian Priors for around 350 years until Henry VIII confiscated it, and for the next 28 years it was in royal ownership.

The once derelict site of the old Whisstocks Boatyard has been transformed. In April 2018 we took on the lease of the Longshed, a purpose built community resource comprising a boatbuilding workshop and mezzanine gallery.
