The cathedral is a mixture of C11th solid Romanesque and later (C13th) flighty Gothic

The Cow Tower, and no, I don’t know why it’s called that, was built to house cannon which were used during Kett’s Rebellion 1549.

The heath is much used by dogwalkers, not to mention youngsters on bikes; the paths vary between narrow and intriguing, and wide open swathes

I did research that name once:
An article in the Eastern Daily Press (April 15, 2010 ) suggested the heath takes its name from Anglo-Saxon moch-holt, i.e. thick wood.
It used to be much more extensive than it is now

This time of year we either have morning light raking across the landscape, or evening light. So long as the clouds dont gather above us (too much of that lately) the sun always seems to be raking us with golden light
