Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: North on Boudica's Way. Boudica's Way is a 40-mile footpath that links Norwich and the market town of Diss on the Suffolk borders. This section turns off Church Lane in Stratton St Michael, a short distance east of St Michael's church > 1362320 leading in northerly direction to the B1527 and onwards from there to the River Tas. The grass here is wilting because the farmer has applied weed killer in order to mark the course of the footpath and to keep it clear.
The name Boudica (often spelled 'Boadicea', which was the Victorian version or 'Boudicca', used by Tacitus) derives from the Celtic 'bouda' which means victory. Boudica was the wife of the Icenian king Prasutagus. When he died his kingdom was annexed by the Romans, Boudica was flogged and her daughters raped. In AD 60 or 61 Boudica led the Iceni, along with others, in revolt. They destroyed Camulodunum (Colchester) and the site of a temple to the former emperor Claudius. Boudica was defeated in the end and is reported by Tacitus to have poisoned herself. The site where she is buried is unknown. |
