At the rear of the Pykkerell Inn is a 16th century stable block seen here from the rear. Listed, grade II*, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1376845 Ixworth is a village some 7 miles north east of Bury St Edmunds. Settled in Roman times and the site of a Roman fort. Later a civilian settlement was established and it became an important junction in the Roman road system of East Anglia. An Augustinian priory was founded in about 1170 and dissolved in 1537. Ixworth is the site of the earliest rural council housing built in England. Now most working residents commute to Bury St Edmunds.
