Church Street, Woolpit

The name Woolpit derives from Old English meaning 'pit for trapping wolves'. Wolves do not need to be trapped here now and the village seems a pleasant enough place with a population of about 2,000. The K6 telephone box on Church Street, close to St Mary's Church, still has a telephone.
