Lidgate

Pictures of buildings mentioned in the second edition “Suffolk” volume of “The Buildings of England” series by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner.

As well as the Church (not covered on this site - see Suffolk Churches) mention is also made of the earthworks castle but the main interest here is the only house (on page 333 of 1974 edition), of which Pevsner says:

“Suffolk House, in the village street. Timber-framed, but with a fine brick end with stepped gable; early Tudor. The bressumer in the front of the house partly carved”.

It is shown here:
