The Essex and Suffolk borders has some really beautiful countryside.
It is little wonder that this part of the country, the border villages of West Suffolk and North Essex, was chosen as the setting for the adventures of roguish antique dealer Lovejoy, from the novels of Jonathan Gash.

The Belchamp Walter estate had a key role, and was the home of Lovejoy’s upper-class friend Lady Felsham in the TV adventure series.
Fictional Felsham Hall was the site of his workshop and often featured in plots in the series as well.
