Significant Stones

Hidden East Anglia:

The STONE INDEX

Below is listed alphabetically, by town or parish, every odd stone and glacial erratic that I know about in Norfolk and Suffolk. Many are linked back to their entry in 'Significant Stones' or to their entry in the gazetteer of legends. At the end is a list of sources where I first found some of the others referenced or pictured, while others have been noted by myself on various field trips.

I have no doubt that some of the smaller stones (e.g. at Salthouse, Bildeston and Framlingham) have no importance whatsoever, and have just been placed to protect the corners of houses etc - but I have included them anyway for the sake of completeness. I'm sure there are hundreds more all over the region.

Some are said to be part of the supposed 'Puddingstone Trail', discovered and developed by the late Dr. Ernest Rudge during the 1940s and 50s. This is supposed to be the remnant of a route used by flint traders in the late Palaeolithic period, stretching all the way from Stonehenge to the north Norfolk coast. Every marker stone on the route is supposed to be a type of 'puddingstone' or 'conglomerate' rock, but I know from experience that some are not. Like many others, I'm far from convinced that the 'Trail' really exists, but more recent information about it can be found here: The Megalithic Portal
