Elizabeth de Clare, one of England's wealthiest women in the 14th century, maintained a substantial household there before the Crown claimed it and it fell disused by 1600. The tall earthen mound still rises above the town, marking the spot where Norman power firstpressed into the prosperous Suffolk landscape.
