Debenham is a beautiful village nestling in the heart of Suffolk containing an array of historic and colourful buildings covering many periods of history.

Looking up towards the High Street, the houses in the centre of the picture are newly built but still manage to blend in with the older houses.

This elegant building built c1905 was once the Ancient Order of Foresters hall but is now used as a bathroom showroom, such a shame.

St Mary Magdalene church.

Debenham has many different styles of building covering many periods; this house is from the Tudor period.

Quite a few of the building have passageways through them like this one allowing access to courtyards.

Another different style and colour to this building, the left hand one is for sale but judging by other houses in the estate agents window would probably cost in excess of £200.000.

At some time in the past a very large repair has been done to the side of the church unusually using bricks instead of the original material.

The shape of this old house seems to defy belief.

The front of the house looks very precarious but it's probably been standing here for hundreds of years.

Another unusually shaped and coloured building this one is "Carter's Teapot Pottery".
