thequeensenglish: Kersey, Suffolk- England. Quintessentially English village of a style for which Suffolk is renowned. Winding streets full of exquisite properties, some dating back to Tudor times. Kersey is a picture postcard village in suffolk. The main street is lined with thatched and timber framed cottages and several of the houses show medieval pargetting, and decorative plasterwork- a speciality of East Anglian houses. Kersey owes its wealth of historic buildings to its prosperity during the heyday of the Suffolk wool trade in the Middle Ages. The village was known for its coarse twill broadcloth, much of which was used for army greatcoats (a large overcoat that is typically made of wool ) and uniforms. Many of the attractive cottages in the village were home to families of weavers. -- source link
