Situated at the head of the Orwell estuary, IPSWICH was a rich
trading port in the Middle Ages, but its appearance today is mainly the result
of a revival of fortunes in the Victorian era - give or take some clumsy
post-war development. The two surviving reminders of old Ipswich - Christchurch
Mansion and the splendid Ancient House - plus the recently renovated quayside
are all reason enough to spend at least an afternoon here. Ipswich also boasts a
wealth of medieval flint churches, some now locked and slowly rusting away, but
others sympathetically restored.
