Thorney Hall

A Fragment from a 1780’s map showing Thorney Hall on one bank of the Gipping and Stowmarket  church on the other side. The Hall no longer stands as the coming of the railways in the 1840’s and increasing industrialisation of the area would have changed its pleasant aspect. Its foot print is under the station car park.
