Historic

Ipswich is steeped in history, with plenty to see right in the town centre.

Ancient House

Dating from the 15th century, the decorative plasterwork on the front of the building is an outstanding example of East Anglian pargeting.

The four panels representing the continents of Africa, Asia, Europe and America provide a glimpse of how the craftsmen viewed the outside world with Australasia, yet to be discovered, conspicuous by its absence.
