Join Roy Tricker, one of the country’s leading authorities on church history, on this fascinating church-crawling tour around Suffolk’s leafy lanes and evocative coastal marshes. Drawing on his extensive knowledge built from a lifetime’s visiting churches, as well as an 11-year stint with the Churches Conservation Trust, author and broadcaster Roy will inspire you with his enthusiasm and make your experience an unforgettable one.
From the church-crawler’s ‘paradise’ with its wealth of riches at Dennington, to the imposing ‘Cathedral of the Marshes’ at Blythburgh and Badingham’s eccentric Church of St John the Baptist, there is plenty to amaze and delight. You’ll also be surrounded throughout by another of this tour’s stars – the beautiful Suffolk countryside and coastline, with its wide open spaces, huge skies and deserted byways.
Your base for the four days is the extremely comfortable Wentworth Hotel on the seafront in the lovely little coastal town of Aldeburgh. Blending the traditional and the contemporary, the hotel provides the perfect place to relax after a day’s church-crawling and the town itself is a joy to explore. Unspoiled and charming, with a long beach lined with fishermen’s boats and huts, plus a pretty main street, Aldeburgh is a seaside gem.
