3/3 A large ship making its way up the Orwell towards the Port of Ipswich, either to the Cliff Quay grain terminal, one of the largest in the UK, or the West Bank terminal. Ipswich also has the River Gipping, a different stage of the same river. The Orwell is tidal, the Gipping isn't.

2/3 The Orwell widens beyond the bridge, its banks becoming wide mud flats explored by wading birds at low tide, leaving a narrow channel in the middle for larger vessels to reach Ipswich and its port industry. Soon, it will be joined by the Stour, and empty into the North Sea.

It is, however, on youtube, a 1967 'promotional video' that's held by the East Anglian Film Archive: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHe4...

Shockingly, although there are two cover versions of 'Have you got alight boy?' on Spotify (by Splodgenessabounds and the Brothers Four, both rather good it must be said) Allan Smethurst's original isn't there, just two songs from a session he recorded when he was living in Grimsby in 1977.

A bit more apocalyptic terror isn't going to do your book's sales any harm...

I told you weeks ago you weren't going down 😉

3/3 The lamb of St Agnes on the 15th Century screen at Cawston, Norfolk is curiously ungainly, even cat-like. Surprising perhaps, on a screen which is generally of high quality, in the only medieval church in East Anglia dedicated to her.

2/3 Her lamb reaching up and looking at her adoringly is almost all that survives of St Agnes on the 15th Century screen at Beeston-next-Mileham, Norfolk.

3/3 The crowning of St Agnes in heaven by Alex Booker for Cox, Sons & Buckley, c1900 at Booton, Norfolk. Today's the feast of St Agnes.

2/3 St Agnes in the middle between St Mary Magdelene and the Blessed Virgin, a detail of FC Eden's great 1925 east window of Christ in Majesty with the saints at Marks Tey, Essex.

3/3 St Agnes on the 15th Century rood screen at Eye, Suffolk. As with other figures on the screen, her face has been badly restored. Nevertheless, today is her feast.

2/3 St Agnes with sword and lamb at Sandringham, Norfolk, one of fourteen late medieval figures restored and installed by Kempe & Co in the 1920s.

Though that was in the 20th Century, of course.

Although St Edmund is mostly associated with East Anglia, he was an important devotional figure all over England. The cult of St Sebastian seems to reach us very late, probably not until the early 16th Century in response to outbreaks of plague, so images of him tend to be sporadic and rarer.

That's one of the best, I think!

2/2 The reredos at Woodbastwick with the Adoration of the Magi and four Evangelists. The church underwent a sumptuous makeover in the 1870s at the expense of the enthusiastically Anglo-Catholic Cator family of the Hall. Nave and tower were substantially rebuilt and it was entirely refurnished.

They're easily confused! A good way to tell the difference is that Edmund is always shown crowned, as here in a wall painting at Troston, Suffolk (admittedly, the crown is a little faint!) and usually with archers.
