A smallish town on the edge of a river with small boats moored along it. 26 churches made of flintstone in a small area and some pretty Victorian architecture.
Tudor buildings and flintsone remnants of priories and city walls abound.Many horrible 60 70's buildings have spoilt some of its potential charm. Went to an archaelogical dig and restoration of a 1400's merchant,s house- very interesting to see restoration of an almost intact building and the process.Wool was big here- traded with Europe.
Quiet day included wandering the market- lots of greasy fish and chips etc. well patronised by the locals.
Interesting town but not a must see.
Managed to post papers etc home and load will be lighter for Italy.
Keiths son and fiancee came up from Kent today for the day.Had duck a l'orange for dinner- very nice meal.
Weather finer and supposed to be 20 degrees all week when we are in London. Having a massage tomorrow before heading to Kent and London for more adventures.
