Wednesday 16th July: We had Dinner at the Weaver's restaurant shown here. It is next to the River Stour, which was used to duck and try to drown suspected witches in mediaeval times. The river is very clean, although in times gone by it was quite dirty. This building was built in the 1500s and was a safe house for fleeing weavers from the continent. We were lucky to find a great B&B right in town, within the walls in the cobbled areas, literally 100m from this location. We had a room on the top floor with a view of the West Tower Gate. We'll come back here again one day for a longer stay!
