About Ipswich
Ipswich is one of England's oldest towns,and took shape in Anglo-Saxon times as the main centre between York and London for North Sea trade to Scandinavia and the Rhine. It served the Kingdom of East Anglia, and began developing in the time of King Rædwald, supreme ruler of the English (616-624). The famous ship-burial and treasure at Sutton Hoo nearby is probably his grave.
Ipswich is the county town of Suffolk and is the third largest urban area in England. As of 2006 the population is approximately 120,000.
