The unique mid-16th century manor house at Crow’s Hall, Stowmarket, is surrounded by a moat and entered by a brick bridge and a gatehouse. 😍

It’s claimed that the Prospect is the oldest riverside tavern in England, and some say that the writer and politician Samuel Pepys was once a local.
However, it’s unlikely that Pepys saw the building that stands today, as it appears to date from the 18th and 19th centuries.
