42 DUAL PURPOSE CATTLE 



Bury, West Suffolk, a story which Thomas Carlyle made so enter- 

 taining in his "Past and Present," and now to be read in more than 

 one recent version that the Monastery held many manors in West 

 Suffolk. Jocelyn's hero came as a youth from the Norfolk area that 

 borders Northwest High Suffolk, with East Anglian ideals, and an 

 invincible love for English speech, though it was decidedly vulgar, 

 and English love of freedom in the country. It may be presumed 

 that he favored the Suffolk dun cow rather than the White Polled, 

 which were possibly to be found on Abbey and Priory farms in the 

 "shires" and in some northern areas, and we are told that during his 

 thirty years as Abbot he interested himself in the lands which he 

 controlled, and which were of good quality. A few old-style Suffolk 

 Duns were to be seen some thirty years ago. And we know that the 

 Suffolk Polled of the 18th Century were of a larger type than most 

 of those in Norfolk. So we may take it as probable that the West 

 Suffolk polled were derived from the old time Suffolk Dun cow.
