The Women's Land Army 
thanks the people of 
Bury St Edmunds
for their kindness
during the Second
World War.

A plaque recording the generosity of John Appleby of the USAF who was 
stationed during the last few months of WW2 in Suffolk. 
He finished his war duty on bombers and spent a few months cycling around
Suffolk, learning to do brass rubbings and falling in love with the delights 
of the county. He wrote his book Suffolk Summer in 1946 bequeathing
all royalties in perpetuity to the Rose Garden in the Abbey Gardens.
His book is a delight to read and a testimony to his intense wonder at
his discoveries in this new world.
He never returned to visit the area but his rose garden and royalties continue.
A man one would love to have met.
