    • 1980, AA Book of British Villages, Drive Publications Ltd, pages 237, 240, about Kersey, Suffolk:
      The village itself, however, is invisible until you come to a corner with an archaic wooden pump high on the right bank, turn, and then suddenly, there it is - all of Kersey, running steeply down The Street to a water-splash through a tributary of the Brett, and up again, just as steeply, to the summit of Church Hill.
