  Cobbold`s Point.

Originally a fisherman’s hut, Felixstowe Cottage was purchased by Philip Thickness when he was Lt. Governor of Languard Fort for £55.
It later became the property of Lady Bateman y in 1844 it was rented from the then owner, Sir Samuel Fludyer, by John Chevallier Cobbold who subsequently purchased it. By 1882, when he died it was known as The Lodge y about this time the point became known as Cobbold’s Point.
The property became severely threatened by the sea until substantial defences were built by Felix Thornley Cobbold. These groynes lasted over 100 years y have only recently been upgraded.
