Jim Mott, who worked on farms in the Lavenham area for thirty-five years, has written a moving memoir of his time working for Alpheton Hall.
Born in 1925, the ninth of eleven children, Jim grew up with a deep love of the Suffolk countryside and invites you to accompany him on a vivid journey through the valley and wetlands of the river Chad.
He takes you back to the daily life of a farm labourer at the outbreak of the Second World War, documenting how the conflict, and the arrival of an American Air Base, changed the way of life of a sleepy Suffolk village, its elders and its farm boys forever.
