| Clare |
Delightful little town on the River Stour.
Many of the houses with exceptional partgeting. Among the best
are Nethergate and White House. In the church is a 17th Century
gallery pew and the heraldic glass in the East window is of
the same period.
Much of Clare's history can be found at
the Ancient House Museum at 26 High Street, Clare. Housed in
a 15th Century, Grade 1 listed building exhibition of local
history and photographs of Clare. (more
details on our Museum page under Sudbury).
The nearby villages of Cavendish (3 miles to the East)
and Stoke-by-Clare (2 miles to the South West) are both
attractive and well-worth a visit. The first for it's colour-washed
cottages around the church, it's Regency Hall and Tudor chimneyed
Blacklands Hall. The second village for its lovely 15th Century
pulpit and the Queen Anne House (now a school) that incoporates
part of a Benedictine Monastery. |
