1066  Harold II defeated Harold Hardrada of Norway at the Battle of Stamford Bridge

Before yesterday what we knew about Sudbourne was it doesn't have a pub and it's a small case study in Howard Newby's Green & Pleasant Land?  We discovered yesterday that Sudbourne Park is a spectacular, primarily residential, sprawl with a few workshops.  In a converted apple store is a co-operative of over 20 print makers including Chinwe Chukwuogo-Roy.  There was a steady stream of visitors yesterday for the Sudbourne Park Printmakers Winter Show which continues until 4pm today.  To visit this surprising place just head for Orford and follow the show signs.
