I never need much of an excuse to go. It's about an hours drive away and this time it was well worth it. I found the perfect green silk damask and a lovely cream as well. I'll blog later about what I'm making with them.
On the way home I drove off the main road to a village called Long Melford.
This area is an old wool growing area and the Churches are fantastic; big and grand from all the riches that came from that Medieval trade.

It has a famous small Rondell of stained glass which has three hares on it. The altar cloth had the same beautiful & quirky design. 
There are three hares, each with two ears but somehow there are only three ears instead of six. Photo from this website
