Low End Built as a medieval hall-house and subsequently divided, Low End is one of three cottages with the main hall in the middle for all to use. The building was in use as an inn by 1478. Peasenhall is a long, open village, with a stream running beside the road. It is much-visited by connoisseurs of sausages and ham, sold in more than one of its excellent shops. | |||

This Medieval Hall House (try saying that quickly) was our first Landmark. The boys were aged eight and ten. We travelled there by bike and train and so carried no provisions. Whilst the elders took tea in the cafe the boys were sent off to the shop to buy essentials for breakfast. They returned to inform us that the shop which we had seen open on a Sunday did not open on Saturday afternoons. The kind lady in the cafe found us bread, butter milk and jam for the morning so all was not lost.
We stayed in the High End with its Solar room.. Two families with children were staying in the other parts of New Inn and one evening we all had dinner together in the grand hall - at the colossal table.
The boys also made friends with the local butcher and obtained bacon rind and string from him to go crabbing at Walbleswick.
