Great
  Eastern railway. Pop. (1901) 3314. It is picturesquely placed in a deep bend of the river Waveney, the boundary with Norfolk. Of the two parish churches that of St
Mary
  has a fine Perpendicular tower, and that of Holy Trinity a round tower of which the
lower

The castle was a stronghold of the powerful family of Bigod, being granted to Roger Bigod, a Norman follower of the Conqueror, in 1075. A grammar school was founded in 1592. There are large printing-works, and
founding
  and malting are prosecuted. There is a considerable carrying
trade
  on the Waveney.
