KERSEY near Hadleigh, South-Suffolk


Kersey, with less than 300 residents on its electoral roll, is a small, extraordinarily picturesque village set in a valley in undulating countryside. Near to Lavenham and Long Melford, both of which cater for every whim of the tourist, Kersey remains quiet and apparently unmodernised with many ancient timber-framed houses and cottages. From the visitor's viewpoint, there are two pubs, both of which serve food, a thriving pottery workshop, and the large church of St Mary which stands as a sort of sentinel at the top of a flight of stone steps at the Southern end of the village. And that appears to be all. Visitors are probably not aware of the post office, nor of the school beside the church and the many village children who walk there daily.

"One of many Kersey fetes held in the garden of The Cottage"

Yet, the winding street, running north south and crossing a ford afloat with ducks, acts as a magnet to people from all walks of life and every corner of the globe. This place has, over the years, been described in such phrases as "a little piece of Heaven" and a "priceless jewel cradled in a giant's hand".
