The name sounds like a combination of
Great or
Little
Saxham which are villages
just west of Bury St Edmunds. |
 |
|
However In "Cottages of
Lilliput Lane" David Tate says: "Inspired by the villages of
Cavendish
and Bungay......." Cavendish
(right) has pink thatched cottages but none with the dormers depicted in the
model.
Bungay has cottages with the roofline and dormers in Earsham
Street but none are thatched |

Information from Lee Breeze
The Saxham St Edmunds church actually has a porch on both sides. The
clock is on the opposite side, but is the same square faced design.
(This was probably reversed because of the layout of the model).
Otherwise, it is the same. There are not many that have a thatched roof,
plus the small decorative window on the tower, with the larger one above
and the capping stones on the tower all pin it down to Cranwich. None
of the other 175 or so East Anglian round tower churches come as close.
It’s also relatively close to the Bury St Edmunds/Little Saxham area
(about 20 miles). There are a few closer but none as beautiful an
example in my opinion as Cranwich. |

On the model this is described
as "the vicarage" and could be based on:

OK, so the "Saxham St Edmunds" sign on the
model is not a road sign, but if it were this is the nearest you'd get
to it! |
