The Manors of Suffolk, Vol. 5

Excerpt from The Manors of Suffolk<br/><br/>The soil IS in many places a rich, strong loam, on a substratum of clay, but a light fertile sand prevails along the eastern side and near Lake Lothing, with an occasional mixture of clay and brick earth in many parts, wet, and full of springs. In the vale of the Waveney is a broad tract of rich marshes. The length of the Hundred fiom north to south is 8 miles, its breadth from east to west 5 miles, making a circumference of 21 miles.
