Blundeston is the birthplace of 'David Copperfield', in the novel of the same name by Charles Dickens. Despite local legend, it is difficult to tell whether Dickens actually visited here, or stayed at Somerleyton Hall > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1506718 in the neighbouring village. Blundeston no longer has a shop but there is a Primary School; St Mary's church, with a round tower dating from Saxon times, and two pubs. On the southern edge of the village is Blundeston Prison which used to house B Category prisoners but in recent years has changed to the lower security C Category status.
