The Cornhill
The Cornhill has been at the centre of the town's life since Anglo-Saxon Times, the focus for markets, public meetings, fairs and civic ceremonies.
It was here in 1555-56 that the "Ipswich Martyrs" were burnt at the stake for their Protestant beliefs and in 1644 Widow Lackland was burnt on the orders of Matthew Hopkins the notorious Witchfinder General.
The Town Hall and Old Post Office, two grand Victorian buildings, flank the Cornhill.
