Easton is a delightful village standing amongst rolling Suffolk countryside. Easton Hall was the English seat of the Duke and Duchess of Hamilton. Easton Hall no longer survives, at least not in this country for it was demolished in the 1920s and shipped to America and rebuilt on a ranch. The only surviving piece of the estate is the 18th century crinkle-crankle wall which is reputed to be the longest in the world. |

The White Horse public house, probably one of the quaintest in Suffolk. |

The Easton village sign depicting a pack of foxhounds, there is still a pack of hounds in the village today. |

The crinkle-crankle wall goes right up to the church of All Saints and it is said that this was so the Duke and Duchess need not see the villagers whilst on there way to church. |

The 18th century crinkle-crankle wall that surrounds the village,reputedly the longest one in the world. |

The first Snowdrops I’ve seen this year, surely a sign that spring is its way. |

There are two of three of these little thatched cottages dotted about the village; they were possibly estate workers cottages. |
