Description
The History of Ipswich offers an in-depth look at over 1,400 years of life in Suffolk's primary conurbation. Archaeological discoveries have revealed that Ipswich is one of England's oldest towns, with the Anglo-Saxon 'Gipeswic' dating back to the Roman era.
From its early days as a collection of Roman farmsteads, Ipswich quickly developed into a thriving town under Saxon rule, laying the foundations for later prosperity. The book explores how the town's medieval trade and shipbuilding industries made it famous in the 18th century, while also retaining its ancient character.
With a rich history spanning over 1,400 years, The History of Ipswich provides a comprehensive overview of life in Ipswich from Roman times to the present day. This engaging book is a must-have for anyone interested in Suffolk's history and heritage.
