This was really interesting! The part about Dunwhich's lost, underwater city is really uncanny. I never knew that England had a lost underwater city!

I myself am a fan of spooky, liminal stories, although I tend to avoid horror. Maybe you'd like reading 'British Library Tales of the Weird'. These are stories about the uncanny and the eerie, and none are explicit or gratuitous or really horrifying. My favourite is 'Cornish Horrors', a collection of ghost stories about Cornwall.

Thanks, those sound like good recommendations. You might like Mark Fisher’s The Weird and the Eerie, which explores those concepts.

Frustratingly, I’ve been to Suffolk twice but never made it to Rougham itself as I was pet-sitting and didn’t want to leave the pets for too long! I’d love to go though.

I have a feeling I wouldn’t knock on the door, as something seems to keep people from going too close to the house. An instinct, maybe? I’d be scared if never be seen again. It has too much of a gingerbread cottage vibe!
