A village landmark in east Suffolk has been featured in the first episode of a new BBC series.
Charlie Cooper's Myth Country on BBC Three followed the This Country actor as he travelled across the country learning more about Britain's weird and wonderful folklore history.
The three-episode series started with a trip to the region in search of the Black Shuck.

The legend of the devil-dog says it has flaming red eyes and shaggy black fur, and inflicts a fatal curse on anyone who sees it.
In the BBC show, Mr Cooper took an old yellow AA van to the Holy Trinity Church in Blythburgh.
He explained that during a storm in the summer of 1577, the Black Shuck burst through the doors of the church and killed members of the congregation who were gathered inside.
Later the actor visited the Locks Inn, Geldeston, to watch the Norfolk Folklore Society record a podcast about Black Shuck sightings in the region.
All three episodes of Charlie Copper's Myth Country are available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
