More information about Halesworth

Halesworth is a town and civil parish on the River Blyth in the northern part of the Waveney district of Suffolk in England. The town is 22 miles (35 km) northeast of Ipswich and 5 miles (8 km) northwest of Southwold. It falls within the Suffolk Coastal local government district.

History

Halesworth is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it is referred to as Haleswade. The book mentions that the land is owned by the Bishop of Elmham and is home to a mill and meadow. In the mid-1700s, it was described as having a pleasant market town and being a centre for the production of flax and malt.

The first railway station was opened in 1855 and the town continued to grow and expand. By 1881, Halesworth was a bustling town with a population of 2,850 and by the turn of the century this more than doubled to over 6,500. The local economy was primarily agricultural until the 1920s when an industrial estate was developed in the south-east corner of the town and industries such as the Sawmills Manufacturing Company, the English Grocer Company and the Larkin Dairy were set up in the area.

The town is home to two important buildings: the St Mary's Church and the Shire Hall. Both are Grade II listed buildings and are of national significance. The St Mary's Church, which was founded in the 11th century and is the second-oldest building in East of England, is the official place of worship in the town. The Shire Hall dates back to the 15th century and was once used as a court of law.
