The Suffolk Psychogeophysics Summit presented an intense week-long series of interventions, field trips, open workshops and evening discussions led by international artists and researchers exploring the Suffolk countryside through the interdisciplinary lens of psychogeophysics, defined as the combining of psychogeographic techniques (methods of wandering) with the study of geophysical traces (geophysical archaeology, the revealing of place).

Open events within the week included practical workshops in building simple geophysical measurement devices from recycled materials, the construction of “ghost” detectors tested on the streets of Ipswich and experiments within high voltage photography of rocks and minerals. Fieldtrips built on discussions and techniques established during these workshops, undertaking studies at specific Suffolk locations of interest (such as Rendlesham forest, Bawdsey Manor, Orford Ness); the measurement and mapping of qualitative psychic, physical and geophysical data.

Needham Market http://www.onesuffolk.co.uk/NeedhamMktTC/AboutNeedhamMarket/NeedhamTour.htm Needham Market was isolated due to the plague and a chain was erected at both ends of the town, hence the names still in use,'Chainhouse' at the south end and 'Chainbridge' at the north. The chains would not have been an effective physical barrier so they must have acted as a psychological deterrent. - - - - - The scientist, Joseph Priestly, was minister from 1755 to 1758. He discovered oxygen and worked on the nature of gases, inventing soda water.
