Recenter Map To This Location

In Blythburgh be sure to visit its church, so imposing in size that hereabouts it is referred to as Blythburgh Cathedral. The size of the church is indicative of the community’s importance in years gone by when it was a thriving port, with its own mint, on the estuary of the River Blyth. Its prosperity declined and the church was neglected until it was restored this century. Carvings of the Seven Deadly Sins decorate the pew ends and the rare, wooden Jack-o’-the-Clock.
