Suffolk in the Middle Ages: Studies in Places and Place-Names, the Sutton Hoo Ship-Burial, Saints, Mummies and Crosses, Domesday Book and Chronicles of Bury Abbey

In the later middle ages East Anglia was the most prosperous region in England, a wealth founded on the arrival of saints, vikings and traders across the North Sea, and still visible in the churches and yeoman farmhouses in the landscape today. Norman Scarfe's exploration of medieval Suffolk covers place names in particular detail; he also examines the Sutton Hoo ship burial, the coming of Christianity, and Edmund and the abbey at Bury St Edmunds, concluding with an evocative study of five Suffolk places - Southwold, Dunwich, Yoxford, and Wingfield and Fressingfield, bringing into sharp focus their medieval origins.
