title A Pub Walk to the Lion, Debenham, Suffolk - 19th January 2025 intro It's definitely walking season, as we do a few short morning walks around the local fields. Then Isobel offers to drive for a Sunday pub walk, so we head off to Debenham where we do a shortish three mile circular walk around the village, part of which Nosher last walked back in the late 1990s in order to take photos for a web version of the walk published on the Suffolk County Council website. At the end of the walk we stop at the newly-reopened Lion (formerly Red Lion) on the High Street for a couple of pints of Watts milk stout and a coffee, and after that have a poke around in the church of St. Mary Magdalene. imgp0076 The moon rises over Chinner's field imgp0082 We spot Lucy the one-eyed cat in Chinner's field imgp0087 Lucy Cat roams the fields of Suffolk imgp0090 Another walk on a frosty morning imgp0095 A tree has fallen over at the Oaksmere imgp0096 Christmas baubles are still in the trees imgp0097 A nice morning sky over the back field imgp0103 There's a hare in the field imgp0110 A splash of a rainbow imgp0111 Isobel pauses outside a nice house in Debenham imgp0112 Looking back at Debenham as we head out imgp0114 The lane back to Debenham imgp0116 Horses of the Debenham Hunt head down a track imgp0119 A curious iron box in a wood imgp0120 Isobel pauses near a dead tree imgp0121 There's a stripey cat on the road imgp0123 Isobel reads a sign at Hoppit Wood imgp0124 A dog has a swim in Hoppit "lake" imgp0125 We walk past the allotments back into Debenham imgp0126 The perils of obsolete social media imgp0127 There's a shed on stilts looming over the hedge imgp0129 Isobel walks the path alongside Water Lane imgp0130 Debenham's High Street imgp0131 Henry Abbott Hardware, since 1707 imgp0132 Isobel has a coffee in the Lion pub imgp0135 The bar of the Lion - formerly Red Lion imgp0136 The impressive fireplace of the Debenham Lion imgp0142 The former Angel pub, seen through the window imgp0144 Pub menus and a candle imgp0145 The old Angel pub in Debenham imgp0147 There's an impressive carved timber support imgp0148 Isobel heads off up the street imgp0149 Debenham's K6 phonebox imgp0150 A coaching arch in the Deben Coffee House imgp0151 Isobel outside Swan House and Garden imgp0153 There's a particularly giant basket on the street imgp0154 The curious Number 2 Gracechurch Street imgp0156 Debenham's fish and chip shop imgp0157 The nave of St. Mary Magdalene, Debenham imgp0158 An unusual Victorian brick floor imgp0160 A 14th C piscina, with a bishop's head imgp0161 1992 stained glass, designed by Rowland Warboys imgp0162 More traditional High Victorian stained glass imgp0165 Glass from 1909, dedicated to William and Mary Dove imgp0001 The three-lock mediaeval parish chest imgp0003 Isobel in the graveyard of St. Mary imgp0007 The architecture mash-up that is St. Mary imgp0009 The grand Ancient Order of Forresters building
