It always amazes me how much history is around the corner.
I live in Harwich which is the town where the captain of the Mayflower, Christopher Jones, lived. There are so many little corners that have little historic references that satisfies the history buff in me.
Quite nearby is the historic town of Colchester which is the oldest recorded town in England. Colchester boasts a Norman keep and quite a chunk left of the Roman wall, the remains of a Roman chariot track and, my favourite, the ruins of the first Augustinian priory in England, St Botolph’s Priory.
I love where I live because I am literally living and breathing in history!
