Exploring Needham Market

Richard and I went on a road trip for a couple of talks he'd been invited to give and while in Needham Market we of course had a little walk around to explore. There is a rather lovely and pleasant surprise for us to 'discover' inside the church which we were graciously permitted to have a quick look inside.

Thank you, we hope so too! 💜

[@fionahammond9396]

Hi to both of you looks like an old fig tree great to see you both again ❤ great church

[@The-Salty-Bager]

I live in the village and you missed so much of the village and its history

[@the-english-couple]

Sadly so. Is there anything you can tell us in case we go again?

[@loisbanks3614]

Everyone needs the lovely English couple, lovely old buildings and yes please go back to that amazing church.

[@rachelt-s]

What a lovely video and so great to your happy faces - you are both looking very well. What a lovely sunny day. 🌞The tree looks like a Fig Tree - they usually grow near old manor houses or in walled gardens. What a superb tour of Needham Market - not somewhere I've ever been before so I found it interesting. Many Thanks and look after yourselves. xx🙂

[@dianegriffen2756]

Naughty Elephants Squirt Water! What a stunning church, I'm glad you went inside. Thank you.

[@VickyAllum]

Lovely village ,just shame about the noisy busy road , lovely to see you back in a new video Julia and Richard 😊

[@carolrayk]

Absolutley love seeing all your beautiful villages. So interesting. You should carry a history book along so you could give us background information on the places you visit.

[@judioliver8082]

Wonderful, and yes, I agree with you about the noise levels these days. I'm in New Zealand and we don't have talking trucks here [thank God]. I so enjoyed this. Thank you

[@northlincolnshirecountryma6981]

Richard it is a tradition in both Suffolk and Norfolk to pebble dash buildings . The one that was being prepared to be done nowadays they just spray it on. Instead of manually putting it on .

[@elmonte5lim]

Looks like a bloody great fig tree - I don't think I've ever seen such a big one. Queen Square, WC1, used to have loads of them, when I was working there forty-odd years ago. Probably still there - but bigger, now. If I remember rightly, some kind of ficus - related to rubber plants(the houseplants).

[@peaceonearth24100]

You both would love Lavenham. Not too far away.❤️

[@shirleylynch7914]

Another lovely town. Beautiful day and walk around. Thank you for all these amazing videos.

[@kdean9537]

Hi Richard & Julia, so very good to see you both out and about, I love these walks, been missing you both! @10:43 Blue plaque..."...Site of enemy bombing 19 Oct 1942 four civilians killed & many injured"...I just thought it was worth of mention. Really lovely look around Needham. The Church is really beautiful and I love the sign "Needham Market's Medieval Masterpiece", it certainly would be worth another visit. Thank you so much, take really good care, stay well! Lots of love Kathy x 🌺🌸💖⛪

[@andrewpeek5785]

An overhanging first floor is called Jettied

[@northlincolnshirecountryma6981]

[@treehouse3240]

Lovely Church, thank you both for another great video.

[@seanjamescameron]

That’s a FIG tree in the beginning.

[@violetmoonofthenorth]

Lovely to see a small town life down the south of 🇬🇧

[@Jane_and_Meg]

Thank you both for this video - really enjoyed the tour! Was lovely to see the awesome church too!

[@mulberry96]

Tolly Cobold is a local brewery building would have been a pub 🍻

[@susanlock8131]

You ought to go to Lavenham in Suffolk it is a Tudor village !!

[@the-english-couple]

Ooh, good cal! 💜

[@lindadavies5298]

tolly cobbold is the name of the brewry .it was a pub. there is a rain bride at the end of the high st but please dont take you transit under as its 7ft something.glad you had a good time.

[@pippamellon8678]

It’s not a catalpa tree( Indian bean) ..nice farm shop and resteraunt in Needham..nice walk down by the river and mill..

[@liahurst8575]

If you're ever back up Norwich way again Richard, do visit Cromer and Sheringham. Lots of independent shops there.

[@karenbarker9474]

There was a blue plaque on the wall by Needham Autocentre. I am curious to know more about it.

[@jennydarbyv5262]

Please Go and film Flatford mill ,that features on the picture of John Constables The Haywain

[@emmy1954]

Not a huge fan of your other Richard, but I enjoy the ad hoc nature of your 'The English Couple' vids .....Oh I believe it's a fig tree.

[@nigelstringerNVS]

It’s a fig tree we have on, great to see you back on xx

[@helenneal7548]

The overhang was there so that when the people threw out their 'toilet doings', it went into the gutter and not down the front of the house.x

[@jowoods8009]

Ew! 😅

[@frog-eye1420]

12:22 is part of the Limes Hotel bar area called " Bugs Bar "

[@terencephillips6833]

An interesting little town but it surely needs a bypass road with all that through traffic.

[@mr-wx3lv]

There is a bypass road. The A14, between Ipswich and bury st Edmunds. That's actually just local traffic. Between stowmarket and Claydon..😊

[@nickgiles7568]

The first building you passed at the start of this (excellent) video was I believe a former pub, although I have no local knowledge. The wording on the upper storey- "Tolly Cobbold" is the name of a former Suffolk brewery, based in Ipswich I think and probably the owner this property. Thanks for the tour.

[@michaelwhite8031]

Tolly Cobbold was the name of a beer at one time. Beautiful little town/village. Maybe you and Julia should move to Suffolk....but would you miss the sea ?

[@annenewton5403]

The Pightle I think means a small inclosure or small field. I really enjoyed your stroll round the town. Shame the beautiful place is so noisy. The Church roof was really unusual . Thank you. I look forward to the English Couple videos .

[@the-english-couple]

Thank you lovely Anne 💜💜💜

[@davidkgame]

It means a triangular shaped enclosure of land used to house pigs. Source: I used to live on that road and my wife wrote a book of tales from local history! Also it's pronounced pie-tull.

[@katherinefleming1260]

This is a fantastic channel!

[@picknick3591]

It's the river Gipping!

[@jeffsmith50001]

Its an old old Fig Tree.

[@lexiyoung6471]

I am from Suffolk

[@caz12345]

It's a shame you don't have the free Flora Incognita app on your phone, it could have identified that tree for you 😊 x

[@daurgothothmajere9341]

Looks like a Brown Turkey Fig Tree.

[@ericlacey6593]

Its a fig tree 👍

[@VeruccaAssulte]

Toe toe....total crazies 😅

[@helenaweston1296]

That tree is a Fig tree

[@lexiyoung6471]

I have a friend who lives there

[@mr-wx3lv]

I live very near there, in stowmarket.....

[@davidkgame]

Hello fellow local! Needham resident here :-)

[@jillenglish5878]

Tree could be a common fig?

[@andrewharvey6400]

10:41 missed a blue plaque.

[@harris4018]

they pebble the out side as the brick or timer buildings are very porous

[@WorkShop-y7l]

Lath and plaster

[@jeffsmith50001]

Is it a Mafia wake ? lol. And can anyone give me an idea of how ceilings like that were built ! No screws or hammer drills. Just some old knowledge past down. Until is wasnt passed down and kept secret.

[@ariversideview5775]

Fig tree.

[@WorkShop-y7l]

Wattle and daub

[@pippamellon8678]

Looks like a fig tree..

[@MrRocksoil]

Fig tree ficus carica.

[@mrjiggs3761]

Fig

[@jeffsmith50001]

And that dog is why you Richard and the Lovely Julia should have a Spyderco UKPK (legal) one handed folding knife clipped into your pockets. Also good for bread and cheese and apples. Like English Gents and Ladies.

[@jowoods8009]

Lovely. Hope people curb the urge to be political in this page and keep it neutral. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Once electric cars and vans are more common place there will be a lot less noise and pollution to boot.

[@william6223]

Once tyrannies no longer afflict the west, we will be stronger, wiser and more productive. End the cartels. Stop the extortion rackets. End governmental dependencies and privileges. 1 equal and just law. No more privileges. End the monarchy!
