The Saints is the popular name for that part of North East Suffolk in which St. Peter's Hall is located.

It is so called because virtually every village in the area is named after a saint - St. Cross, St. Margaret, St. Nicholas, St. James, St. Michael, St. John, St. Lawrence, St. Andrew, St. Peter and All Saints.

In the Middle Ages, East Anglia, and particularly Suffolk, was a major centre of wool production. Though some manufacturing was done locally, most of the wool was exported to Flanders through ports such as Dunwich (once hugely important but now mainly washed away) and Suffolk was massively wealthy and densely populated.

Now what remains are some wonderful churches, minsters and priories and village and field plans which have changed little since the Middle Ages.

The Saints is surely one of the most beautiful, historic and remote parts of England, and a great day out.
