Not illustrated. 1887 Excerpt: ...Uggeshall, Wangford, Reydon, Frostenden, Wrentham, Benacre, Henstead, Sotterly, and Ellough, plentiful signs of clay occur, though good sections are rare. At Blomfield Brickyard, a mile east of Uggeshall church, there is bluish Boulder Clay, and at one part clean blue clay is said to be found about 10 feet down.

This sort of thing may occur in the fields to the west, at a rather higher level, the sand etc., perhaps coming up to the surface, and causing the sandy soil.
