Scenic little village green with a PO/shop and pub. Reputedly the place where the last Anglo-Saxon king of East Anglia, Edmund the Martyr, was killed by the Danes.

Very imposing building with some interesting carvings on the timbers.

For a view of the castle turn up Castle Hill lane off the main village road to reach the car park. The castle itself is best accessed without road cleats on.

On the road from Hoxne to Cross Street lies Goldbrook Bridge, whereย Edmund is said to have hidden from the Danes. According to legend, a newly-wed couple spotted his spurs glistening in the moon (or sun) and, as the Danes dragged him away, he cried a curse on all bridal couples who should ever cross the bridge. Apparently until well into the 19th century, many local wedding parties would go the long way round rather than chance the curse.
