GENERAL HISTORY

AND

DESCRIPTION

OF THE

COUNTY OF SUFFOLK.

SUFFOLK, one of the most eastern counties of England, and one of the most interesting agricultural and maritime divisions of the kingdom, comprises an area of 1,515 square statute miles, or about 969,600 acres of land, watered by many navigable rivers and smaller streams, and possessing all the varieties of soil from a light steril sand to a rich loam. It lies between the parallels of 51 deg. 57 min. and 52 deg. 35 min. North Latitude; and between 24 minutes and one deg. 45 min. East Longitude; but it is of an irregular figure, extending only about 56 miles in a direct line from east to west, and 32 from north to south; though its eastern side occupies about 50 miles of sea coast, sweeping in a curved line from the estuary of the Orwell and Stour, near Harwich, northward to Yarmouth, where it terminates in a narrow apex; from whence, a line drawn across the county, in a south-westerly direction to Haverhill, at its south-western angle, is more than 70 miles in length. It is bounded on the north by Norfolk, from which it is separated by the Waveney and Little Ouse rivers, rising near Redgrave, and flowing in opposite directions; on the west, by Cambridgeshire, where it is only about 26 miles in breadth; on the south, by Essex, from which it is separated by the river Stour, in a winding course of about 48 miles; and on the east, by the German Ocean, on which it has some fine bays, havens, and creeks, and a bold range of cliffs and headlands, of which, that at Lowestoft is the most easterly point of England. It increased its Population from 210,431 souls in 1801, to 315,073 in 1841. Compared with the other counties in England, it ranks as the eighth in agricultural, and the fifteenth in total population. It is in the Norfolk Circuit; in the Province of Canterbury; and in the Sees of Norwich and Ely. Till a few years ago, it was wholly in the Diocese of Norwich; but the greater part of the Arehdeaconry of Sudbury, forming the western part of the county, has been added to the Diocese of Ely; and the rest of the county forms the Archdeacoary of Suffolk, in the See of Norwich, as will be seen at a subsequent page. Quarter Sessions are held at Beccles, Woodbridge, Ipswich, andBury, for the four divisions of the county. At Beccles, is a small House of Correction; and there
