‘Orford meadows’ by Howard Phipps appears in Issue 23 of Slightly Foxed magazine
‘Tennyson takes you by the hand and gently leads you ... on to Blythburgh, where the ‘loneliest church in Suffolk’ stands on a ‘knoll beside the river [Blyth] in the midst of a great ocean of marsh and heath, brooding graciously over the few cottages that are the pitiable relics of a once wealthy port ... sublime and dramatic’.’ Branwen Lucas on Julian Tennyson’s ‘Suffolk Scene’. Julian, a great grandson of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, hoped to become a writer but was sadly killed in action in 1945.
