Linden House

Linden House is a classic example of a country town house, situated centrally in one of the smallest towns in England. Featured in the authoritative work, 'Suffolk Houses', Linden House dates from the sixteenth century at which time it was a timbered and plastered village farmhouse. Around 1780 it was restored, given a brick skin and became the smart town house it is today. The entrance hall, staircase and box doorframes are the principal features of the house. Former occupants include the six Thompson sisters, two of them leading suffragettes. One of the TV series of Agatha Christie's 'Miss Marple' thrillers was filmed here. The owner will lecture on the history of the house and town. Linden House is the perfect venue for anyone walking the Eye Town Trail, an easy circular tour of architectural, social and historical interest. Coffee and refreshments are served on the sunny side lawn, secluded from the main street.

Tour approx 2 hours, £10 including tea/coffee with cakes and scones.
