Framlingham Village
This is Framlingham village on a market day. There is a traditional English market in the town square, Market Hill, every Tuesday and Saturday mornings offering fruit and vegetables, artisan bread and cakes, fresh fish, coffee, cheese and pies, and other occasional stalls.
The village has been around a long time – it was mentioned in the 1086 Domesday Book. It’s nestled in the lovely Suffolk countryside and in 2006 Country Life magazine voted Framlingham the best place to live in the country.
The village must have been more important in medieval times when the Earls and Dukes of Norfolk were at the peak of their power and influence, but now it’s as if time has moved on and forgotten Framlingham. I’m sure that’s just how the residents like it.
Henry Fitzroy - the illegitimate son of Henry VIII, is buried in the church here. Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran grew up in Framlingham and began writing songs inspired by the local area. His 2017 single ‘Castle on the Hill’ was inspired by Framlingham castle.
