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.
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".
