Introduction to Suffolk

Land Use

These days Suffolk is known as an arable county, with most farmland under the plough. Barley, wheat and sugar beet are

the most important crops.

It has not always been so. In the Middle Ages, wool was the most profitable product. Many villages and small towns have a church that now far exceeds the needs of the population, and maybe always did so.
