Do you know where this is in Woodbridge?

This photograph shows the former Davy Crowe shop, complete with some very smart shop keepers. Above is a distinctive curved Juliet balcony.

The Friends of Woodbridge Museum’s February talk is “Cardinal Wolsey & Tudor Ipswich” and our speaker is Nigel Smith.

Cardinal Wolsey was born and lived his early life in Ipswich as the medieval era was coming to an end. This talk will consider not just his progress into the Royal court of the early Tudor dynasty but also by about 1500 how Suffolk society was changing in his lifetime.
