Book Description
In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Suffolk and Norfolk were the most prosperous industrial counties in Britain. The inscription in a Suffolk church I thank my God and ever shall, It was the sheep that paid for all sums it up perfectly. For three hundred years wealth poured into Suffolk, first from the wool staple and then from the cloth trade. Most of the churches were rebuilt and adorned during this period, and have been rightly praised. It is strange that so little notice has been taken of Suffolk houses. Suffolk has no building stone, but until Tudor times was rich in oak forests. Men have been building with timber since the earliest times, and by the Middle Ages had become master-carpenters with an immense skill in making and enriching timberwork. Not all of this went into churches, although, from a tradition which gave rise to the epithet seely [bless, d] Suffolk, perhaps the best did. The timber-framed houses, however, had their own Golden Age which reached its zenith by the Grea

Book Description
The House of Tudor changed the history of Britain forever. The Tudor monarchs have been immortalised in novels and films for generations. However, the true history of this incredible dynasty is often romanticised and fact is overlooked. Alison Plowden's accessible and beautifully written history traces the family's turbulent reign of power from Henry VII, the first Tudor monarch, who fathered the great Henry VIII. Henry VIII went onto revolutionise England's armed forces and implement controversial reforms in England. Yet, he is perhaps most remembered for his tumultuous love life and the fates of his six wives, including Anne of Boleyn, who sparked an international crisis. He fathered four known offspring, including Mary I and Gloriana - Elizabeth I, the Virgin Queen, who reigned for 44 years in what is known as England's Golden Age. This book not only re-tells the familiar stories of these famous monarchs, revealing the truth behind the scandals; but it also recounts the history of the less well-known Tudor monarchs: Edward VI, Lady Jane Grey (the uncrowned Queen of England), and those who came directly before and after them - Edward IV and James I. If you read on history of the Tudors, make it this one - you are sure to be enthralled and surprised by how the facts are often more incredible than the fiction surrounding them.

Book Description
Cutchogue and the neighboring waterfront hamlet of New Suffolk share a common history. Their remote location belies the fact that they witnessed events that shaped the nation's history. Among the notables who left their marks here were inventor-statesman Benjamin Franklin, whose granite mile markers have remained intact along the Kings Highway (Main Road) since 1755, and John Holland, father of the modern submarine, who used New Suffolk's harbor to test his invention. American composer Douglas Moore resided in Cutchogue, and Alex and Louisa Hargrave, of Hargrave Vineyards fame, planted their pioneering wine grapes here in 1973. Today, over 50 vineyards call Long Island's North Fork home. Along with rare views of residents at work and play, Cutchogue and New Suffolk shares memorable events and moments captured by photographers whose work is presented here for all to appreciate.
