History Of Suffolk
Although the English county of Suffolk in eastern England starts as an administrative unit after the Anglo-Saxon settlement, evidence of human activity in Suffolk stretches back over 700,000 years, with prehistoric sites among the earliest known in northern Europe. It emerged after the Dark Ages as the southern part of the Kingdom of East Anglia, and became a distinct entity during the early medieval period, with important settlements at Sudbury and Ipswich. The county experienced successive waves of conquest and political change: from Danish incursions and integration into the Danelaw, through Norman feudal restructuring, to the religious and civil turmoil of later centuries. Its economy evolved from medieval cloth-making and agriculture to industrial and maritime activities in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Life Frere was born in Roydon Hall, Norfolk, the son of Sheppard Frere and Susanna Hatley. Ellenor Fenn was his sister. In 1766, Frere received his MA from Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, where he was Second Wrangler and was elected to a fellowship.

Clare Camp
Within the boundaries of Clare, Suffolk, Clare Parish lies what appears to be an ancient camp, an earthwork enclosure known variously as Erbury, Clare Camp or the Anglo-Roman fort (OS TL768458), at the north end of the town, just to the west of Bridewell Street. The name Erbury is first seen in an inquest and land valuation in 1295, referring to a house, the land around it and a garden. This seemed to be part of the largest and most profitable pasture land in the area, lying outside the town and forming a part of Clare Manor. Erbury means 'earthen fort' from Old English. Burgh#Eytmology, Bury is a common placename across Britain and refers to a fortified place: it turns up in various guises across Western Europe: borough, burgh, bourg, burg. Clare and its manor had been owned by a Saxon thane, Aluric (or Aelfric), son of Wisgar (or Withgar), according to the Domesday Book. He was one of the king's thanes of East Anglia and administered the lands on behalf of Emma of Normandy, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
