Slow travel UK #3 - Yoxford Suffolk

We hadn't spent much time in Suffolk before so we stayed 3 nights at this rather quirly B&B - The Old Methodist Chapel.  Our suite was in the old Sunday School
rooms so we felt right at home.  Really interesting area -
lots of farming so great fresh produce.


Holy Trinity Church in Blythburgh near Yoxford is called the Cathedral of the Marshes
 - a beautiful example of local stone and a fine ceiling - note the angels.


This speaks for itself  - Wolsey and Pygot were protestants who refused to change their beliefs
during the reign of the Catholic Queen Mary 1



In contrast the magnificent cathedral in Ely dating from 673.
