Suffolk has a long and varied history that dates well back into antiquity. It was an important centre for early Iron Age people due to its position in the region and its wealth of natural resources – especially good farmland. In the Medieval period, it was part of the Danelaw and saw significant battles between Saxons and Vikings. During the Elizabethan era, Suffolk was a major agricultural centre and remained so until the turn of the 19th century when industry began to take over.
