“As you read these pages you will note how many folk, high and low, have delighted to live under the wide open Suffolk sky and call it home.  Archbishop Parker in Tudor times spent some of the happiest hours of his life at Stoke-by-Clare and left it with the greatest regret.  And with what delight Crabbes’s son recalled the happy days at Great Glemham.
Richenda Cunningham (nee Gurney) delighted to draw the lovely picture of Lowestoft church, brick by brick and fretted arch, for Suckling’s History of Suffolk.  She was trained by Old Crone and the result shows.
Aldeburgh holds tradition high in the memory of Benjamin Britten, who has left a name symbolic of simplicity underlying greatness.  And Suffolk produced two great cooks, Mary Eaton of Bungay, 1823, and Eliza Acton of Ipswitch, 1845.  They are recorded in the annals of the English Folk Cooking Association.”
