WOOLPIT
Today's weather: Hot and sunny, summer seems to have arrived at last.

Woolpit, another mid Suffolk village about 10 miles from Bury St Edmunds with it's lovely timber framed buildings, old village pump and an impressive church. |

|
St Mary's church with its impressive tower, each side of the tower has an inscription, these read: GLORY TO GOD, IN THE HIGHEST, PEACE ON EARTH and GOOD WILL TO MEN. |

|
Once the old village Bakery these shops are now a gift shop and tearooms. |

|
Weaver House, an very impressive mediaeval half-timbered building that stands in the Street. |

|
The village pump and canopy, erected in 1897 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. Each of the four posts of the canopy has a carving of a Queen of England: Queen Anne, Elizabeth1, Boadicea and Queen Victoria herself. |

|
Some rather unusually shaped houses in Mill Lane. |

|
View looking up Green Road towards the centre of the village. |

|
The old village lockup, where once the local drunks would be locked up until they had sobered up. Now there's a thought! |

The church steeple towering above the rooftops. |
