This one is famous for it's wood carvings. In Ipswich we have the Ancient House which has one of the earliest depictions of a tobacco plant in Europe in its pargetting.
Africa is represented by a naked man holding a spear, Asia by a horse and a mosque-like building, Europe by a woman with a horse and castle, and America by a man with a dog at his feet.
Here's the whole front (if you click through to Flickr the chap who took this put loads of info about the building with the photo)

And here's America - the twig thing on the right is supposed to be tobacco.
