SPS visits magical Wenham

The rare chance to visit Wenham Castle ensured that our September visit was fully booked within four days!  This ancient, partially moated site, comprising a 13^th century L-shaped ‘castle’, church, tythe barn and other listed farm buildings sits in secluded Suffolk countryside just eight miles south of Ipswich. It is privately owned and of renowned historical importance. 

Our tutor and guide, Edward Martin, architectural historian, treated SPS Members of the to an in-depth site analysis together with information about its many known incumbents. 

A winding stone staircase to the roof of the ‘castle’ allowed us to enjoy breathtaking and far reaching views over this remote Suffolk site and the countryside beyond.
