Description
Description

Regularly suggested as the prettiest village in Suffolk, the community is in the centre of an area of central Suffolk known as the Wool Towns.
Kersey enjoyed prosperity from the 12th century onwards during the heyday of the Suffolk wool trade in the Middle Ages. Kersey was known for its coarse twill broadcloth, ‘Kersey Cloth’, that was an important component of the textile trade in Medieval England.
The village has been used as a filming location including for Lovejoy and Magpie Murders.
