Boyton
Boyton is situated about two miles north of Hollesley and is surrounded by farmland.
At the entrance to the village, set back from the road, is the the Church of St Andrew which has a Norman doorway from the 12th Century set in the north eastern wall.
Next to the church are the Mary Warner Almshouses built in about 1740.
The houses along the main street date from the 20th century and the road leads to the banks of the Butley River where it joins the Alde.
This waterway may have been reason why there is evidence that there was continuous settlement in the village of Boyton throughout history.
This evidence includes the discovery of a Bronze Age gold torque which is now housed in the British Museum.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds RSPB now own land around Banters barn and have created wetlands which are a haven for migrant and resident water birds.
