Local artist creates Tudor-style map of Ipswich

Why it matters: The limited-edition print, produced by fan creative collective Call Me Ted, raises money for the Ipswich Town Foundation, with £2 from each sale going to the charity.

The details: Printed on heavyweight textured paper and measuring 50cm × 50cm, the map features much-loved Ipswich landmarks — from Ipswich Town FC and Ipswich Museum to the local pubs where fans gather before each match. Each print is hand-signed and numbered by the artist, with the edition limited to 150 copies. The print costs £35.

What they're saying: Haugh said he was inspired by Ipswich's Tudor era. "I was inspired by Ipswich's Tudor era, when Wolsey first set out his ambitions for the town," he said.

"Tudor maps were beautifully hand-drawn and full of character, so I've taken that spirit and reworked it with landmarks from modern Ipswich — linking our history with the renewed ambition around the club and town today."

He added that the map is packed with detail: "We've included loads of little details to spot, from local folk tales through to modern day legends, even an appearance from town mascots Bluey and Crazee."

For context: Call Me Ted is a creative fan collective inspired by a shared love of Ipswich Town Football Club. The map was originally designed for warm-up shirts worn by Ipswich Town players ahead of the home match with Millwall, produced in collaboration with the Ipswich Town Foundation.

What's next: The prints are currently in production and are expected to be ready for delivery from the end of April or start of May. Delivery is available within the UK only.

The bottom line: A celebration of Ipswich's past and present, the Tudor-inspired map is available to buy at Call Me Ted's website for £35, with £2 from each sale supporting the Ipswich Town Foundation's work across Ipswich and Suffolk.
