Ipswich is the county town of Suffolk, on the estuary of the River Orwell
Under the Roman empire, the area around Ipswich formed an important route inland to rural towns and settlements via the Orwell and Gipping. A large Roman fort, part of the coast defences of Britain, stood at Felixstowe, and the largest villa in Suffolk stood at Castle Hill. Ipswich is one of England's oldest towns, and took shape in Anglo-Saxon times as the main centre between York and London[clarification needed] for North Sea trade to Scandinavia and the Rhine. It served the Kingdom of East Anglia, and began developing in the time of King Rζdwald, supreme ruler of the English (616-624). The famous ship-burial and treasure at Sutton Hoo nearby is probably his grave. The Ipswich Museum houses replicas of the Roman Mildenhall Treasure and the Sutton Hoo treasure. A gallery devoted to the town's origins includes Anglo-Saxon weapons, jewellery and other artefacts.
