The upmarket Suffolk coastal village of Walberswick has long been a holiday base for notable artists, with almost half the community’s properties used as second homes. Since its trading port days from the 13th Century to WWI, the village has maintained a tranquil existence interrupted only by the annual British Open Crabbing Championship each August.

St Andrew’s Church
St Andrew's Church is half church and half ruin. Both date back to 1493 when the parish was rich and the church large, but in 1538 the parish lost its tithes and the new church fell into decay. Eventually, in...
