KERSEY, SUFFOLK


Here are some nice medieval weavers houses in Kersey.

Kersey is a beautiful village in the Babergh district in Suffolk, in the east of England. The main street has a ford across a stream. A coarse woollen cloth called Kersey cloth takes its name from it. The cloth was presumably originally made there, but later in many other places too. Kersey's church is St Mary's, and the village also contains a primary school. The village is also the filming location to a popular television advert.
