Set by the River Stour, Dedham is in the heart of Constable Country. It was here that the 18th C. landscape artist went to school. The attractive main street is lined with Georgian-fronted houses, old inns and a large arts/crafts centre. The magnificent 15th C. church is noted for its heraldic symbols.
