Day 9 – Wickhambrook

Well today finds me a little sore from many days of walking and climbing so it is with much pleasure that i get to have a drive in the country and see were it all started for the Ely’s. So in the first of day 9 trips it was off to Wickhambrook to have a look at the town and see if i could find the church where my great grand parents were married, and i a happy to say that not only is it still standing but there was a wedding due to be carried out there today. 

The town sits in the middle of the fens and the main area of all the towns around are made up of farms. It is the end of the harvest here at the moment and all of the fields are being ploughed. The main crops seem to be wheat, Barley and corn.

Next stop Cowlinge.
