Kersey

While in Sudbury on Monday we had our picnic lunch that Dot had prepared earlier and then a bit of sightseeing. Elizabeth then suggested visiting the picturesque villages of Kersey and Lavenham which are recommended place’s to visit. Well, we were not disappointed as Kersey had only 1 main street which runs through a river ford. The village apparently is recorded in the Doomsday Book and a lot of the Tudor style buildings were built around the 1300’s.
