Suffolk, also called Suffolk Punch, smallest draft-horse breed, which originated in Suffolk, Eng. Descended from the medieval “great horse,” the Suffolk is an old breed that has probably had less crossing with other lines than most draft breeds. All registered Suffolks in Britain and North America trace their lineage to “Crisp’s Horse” (born 1768). Suffolks are unusually compact and rotund, with thick, short necks, legs, and backs; they are docile but powerful. They stand 15.2 to 16.2 hands (about 62 to 66 inches, or 157 to 168 cm) high and weigh from 1,600 to 2,000 pounds (725 to 900 kg).

A colour of exterior paintwork originating in the county of Suffolk in eastern England in about the 12th century. It was formed by mixing pig's blood with distemper (whitewash). The original purpose was not for the colouration but to increase resistance to carbon dioxide. The original colour is often described as a dull red-ochre - somewhere between apricot and orange. There still are many examples of this; particularly in the south of the county. However, the most common shades seen nowadays vary between a pale rose and bright lipstick. The official Dulux Suffolk Pink gloss paint is a dull lilac shade. Suffolk Pink Paint There are also varieties of apple and grape called Suffolk Pink. I'm sure they're both delicious.

A much-photographed view seen on many a calendar. The church dates from the 13th Century. Alas, the thatched cottages, right, were destroyed by fire and were re-built (with a half-hearted effort to recreate their original appearance) in the 1950's. In reality, the whole group is colour washed in the same drearily-uniform pink. Like so many of Britain's once-picturesque old buildings, they now scream: "Holiday Apartments!", "Second Home!", "Commuter Residence!","Weekend Cottage!" or just plain: "Gutted, Modernised, and Worth a Fortune!"
Lavenham is noted for its 15th century church, and half-timbered medieval houses. In the medieval period it was among the 20 wealthiest settlements in England. Lavenham prospered from the wool trade in the 15th and 16th century, with the town's blue broadcloth being an export of note. The Guildhall of the wool guild of Corpus Christi stands in the centre of the village overlooking the market square. Established in 1529, most of the timber framed building seen today was constructed in the 17th century. The town was built using green wood for many of the houses and over the years as the wood aged, the buildings became distorted and out of alignment.
The home of two of England’s most renowned painters, Gainsborough and Constable, Suffolk is an incredibly beautiful location (as evidenced by their paintings!).

Thorpeness is a village in the county of Suffolk, England. It is part of the parish of Aldringham cum Thorpe and is within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB. The village was originally a small fishing hamlet in the late 19th century, with folklore stories of it being a route for smugglers into East Anglia. However in 1910, Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie, a Scottish barrister who had made his money designing railways around the world, bought the entire area from north of Aldeburgh to past Sizewell, up the coast and inland to Aldringham and Leiston. Most of this land was used for farming but Ogilvie developed Thorpeness into a private fantasy holiday village, to which he invited his friends' and colleagues' families during the summer months. A country club with tennis courts and a swimming pool, a golf course and clubhouse and many holiday homes were built in Jacobean and Tudor Revival styles. A notable feature of the village is a set of almshouses built in the 1920s to the design of W.G. Wilson. To hide the eyesore of having a water tower in the village, the tank was clad in wood to make it look like a small house on top of a 5-storey tower, with a separate water-pumping windmill next to it. It is known as the "House in the Clouds", and after mains water was installed in the village the old tank was transformed into a huge games room with views over the land from Aldeburgh to Sizewell.
