Our route took us via Saxtead Green and its famous Post Mill, but we only paused to take the snap.
[If you are wondering why the Post Office needs a mill, you need to re-think - it is a mill that revolves around a central post to best catch the wind]
Looking for a break in the journey to our next major destination we stopped at Framlingham to look at the castle [English Heritage]
It is a very satisfying miniature castle with a complete outer wall and a bridge over the "moat" to the only entrance
It has several splendid chimneys
In the exhibition area there is this old map of Suffolk
[Click on the map to enlarge and then try looking for Worlingworth and Framlingham in the middle below the line]
Of course it was necessary to climb up and walk the wall (complete circuit)
Inside the castle boundary are the "Poor houses"
And inside the museum I was amused to see Robin advertising cigarettes
