Umm, it's AldeBURGH, not Aldebaugh. Inter alia, it was the home of 
composer Benjamin Britten, who wrote an opera, Peter Grimes, with Orford 
as the locale. As with other of his operas, its theme is along the lines 
of innocence punished. The annual Aldeburgh Festival, founded by BB, 
continues to this day.

Beg pardon for wandering off-topic,
