Day trip to Suffolk Villages

Day trip to Suffolk Villages

Sat, Jun 6, 6:30 AM
From Universal Student Tours - Day trips from London!
4.8

Suffolk is an area of eastern England that is not often visited by students. This is mainly because not many of the places are particularly famous. But this region contains some beautiful towns and villages with old buildings which were important historically and this is a lovely place to spend the day. We start by travelling to the town of Bury St. Edmunds, whose abbey was once one of the richest in the country. Later on we go to Lavenham, a village with some beautiful old buildings which was once an important wool town. This is a chance to spend some time away from the busy city to see a quiter, more traditional side of England. The price includes train fare to Bury St. Edmunds and bus to Lavenham and guided walks of both places.

Day trip by coach - Towns & Villages in North Essex! (NOW FULL)

Day trip by coach - Towns & Villages in North Essex! (NOW FULL)

Sat, Jun 6, 7:30 AM
From Coach Day Trips Out Of London!
4.6

THE TRIP IS NOW FULL, IF YOU WISH TO ATTEND, ADD YOURSELF TO THE WAITING LIST AND I WILL CONTACT YOU IF A PLACE BECOMES AVAILABLE. Come along on Saturday 6th June for a coach trip to some pretty towns and villages in North Essex. We won't be able to do the Tiptree Jam Tour, as they only carry out tours on Wednesdays and Fridays. **About the day** Essex is a historical county due east of London. Its history back thousands of years and when the Roman's invaded in 43AD, they setup their capital in the north of the county called *'Camulodunum'* (now the city of Colchester). From the 5th century onwards, the Anglo Saxons settled here and the name Essex today translates as 'East Saxon'. **St. Michael's Church, Copford** St. Michael & All Angels Church in the village of Copford in a Norman church featuring rare, extensive wall paintings from the 1140's. The church inside is decorated with a variety of religious themed wall paintings, painted figures, the signs of the zodiac, complex decorations, inclduding flower, leaf patterns and scrollwork. The wall paintings were white washed in the 1530's during Henry VIII's split from the Catholic Church and rediscovered during the 1870's. **Coggeshall** Described as a lovely little 'olde worlde' village, Coggeshall lies just south of Colchester on the River Blackwater and on the Roman road of Stane Street. It has over 300 listed buildings, with the earliest dating from the 14th century and has had a market since 1256. Bizarre and obscure events in the past have been attributed to ley lines crossing in the town. **Great Bardfield** Henry VIII is said to have given Bardfield to his fourth wife Anne of Cleves as part of his divorce settlement in 1540 and a number of buildings in the village are associated with Anne of Cleves. Bardfield was the home of many important twentieth-century English artists who hosted a series of important 'open house' exhibitions in the village during the 1950s. The village has 102 listed buildings and a windmill which dates from 1754. **Braintree** Braintree gets its name from the River Brain and also sits on the Roman road of Stane Street. From the 14th century onwards, the town was known for processing and manufacturing of woollen cloth and then in the 19th century for silk manufacturing. The wealth from cloth is reflected in the many medieval properties in the town. **Coach seating** * If you wish to reserve a seat on the coach in advance, after you pay please look at the seating plan in the photos [here ](https://www.meetup.com/coach-day-trips-out-of-london/photos/35971902/534128699/)and then email me - [general@cultureseekers.org](http://general@cultureseekers.org), with the seat number/s you wish to reserve.
