Ethnology, Surnames, Dialect, Folk-Lore.Main ContentAbout This SiteSuffolk History ResourcesI am a born and bred East Anglian born in Ely and lived for the first few years in a fen village within sight of the Cathedral. My family moved to Suffolk when I was five years old and I grew up in the county in villages near Woodbridge, then, after time away at university and abroad, living later in Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds.Having lived in the northern England for the last decade, it has been a joy to me to move back to this beautiful county with my young family and to be able to introduce them to the places I loved when I was a child. But, I find that there are big gaps in my knowledge.This site is an attempt to pull together some historical resources about Suffolk which will help fill in those gaps.If you stumble across the site and find it of use, that is great too.Map Of Suffolk by Thomas Moule 1850The History Of SuffolkThis section contains the text of THE HISTORY OF SUFFOLK by the Reverend John James Raven one of the Popular County Histories series published by Elliot Stock of London in 1895.PREFACEThe sources from which this history is derived are frequently mentioned in the text and notes, but much material has been obtained through the kindness of correspondents (too many to be enumerated, and to whom my best acknowledgments are due), which it is impossible thus to indicate.The arrangement is rather chronological than topical, constructed with the purpose of exhibiting as far as may be the relation of the history of the county to that of the country at large.The changes in the social condition of the inhabitants of Suffolk have not been overlooked, and much light has been thrown upon the subject by extracts from diaries and letters, which could not be gained by any other means.Such observations as have been made on the East Anglian dialect are largely the result of personal intercourse with all classes, extending over more than half a century.J.
