Botesdale Green

St Botolph's church, Botesdale, Suffolk A semi-detached church! It was built in the late 15th century a chantry chapel and when chantry chapels were abolished in the 1540s it became a school and a house was added alongside for the schoolmaster. In 1884, it was restored to use as a church, still as a chapel of ease to Redgrave.

Lizzie's Lane, Redgrave No one now knows who Lizzie was or what she did to get a path named after her. One can only imagine. The lane is now a popular route for dog walkers and, contrary to appearances, it lies to the left of the hedge in the picture.
