Carlton Colville
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[[1]]Carlton Colville is a village in Suffolk, England. It is also the name used for the very much larger suburb of Lowestoft to the north and east where house building has taken place continuously since the 1960s, including more than 1,000 homes built in recent years in Carlton Park.
Carlton Colville village, however, is properly named as such as it does retain some of the features of a traditional English village, including being next to agricultural fields. Its parish church is St. Peter's Church, the oldest surviving part of which was built in the 13th century.
The village has a moat, which is in a field opposite The Street, but this is often mistaken for a pond. Anglo-Saxon axe-heads were found during the building of Carlton Park.
Carlton Colville is also home to the tourist-attracting Transport Museum.
