- is a set of 7 volumes written and published  by Ivan G Sparkes during the late 1990's. The volumes start with pre history of Halesworth and work through the middle ages, reformation, Elizabethan and Stuart eras, Georgian times, nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Ivan fully supports me in this transfer from volumes to web, and I must thank him for allowing me to do so. In the compiling of his volumes Ivan also had the support and encouragement of many local people, and I wish to acknowledge and thank them as a group. Also in his volumes Ivan supplied a thorough bibliography of source material  - details of which may be found in his books.

References made within these volumes regarding buildings etc. are associated with the use or ownership at the time of compiling these files, and as such need to be updated as appropriate.
