Does anyone know if there was a port or river in the Wrentham/Frostenden area of Suffolk? I'm sure i have read it somewhere.

My ancestor, James Beddingfield b.1798 in Wrentham was a Master Mariner and I am intrigued as to how he may have come into that line of work so was wondering if a nearby waterway may have been the reason.

They is a port at lowestoft which is not far from Wrentham about 6-8 miles at the most, or he could sailed from southwold. Hope this is of help to you. Frostenden is abit inland.

The Domesday Book shows that, 1000 years ago, sea-going ships tied up here - now three miles of farmland separate the village from the sea. There were also two churches here, and a thriving community.
