Quarles in the twelfth century was owned by the Norman Bigod family, who also (among their many landholdings) owned Framlingham in Suffolk, where they were licensed to build it's castle.

Cretingham in Suffolk was also once administered by the Hundred of Loes.

During renovation work on a hunting lodge near Aldeburgh, Suffolk in 1996, a carpenter uncovered a plank of wood revealing a chilling pencilled message: "A fearful murder was committed the first day of this month (October 1887) at Cretingham. A curate cut the vicar's throat at 12 o'clock at night." Sheila Hardy wrote a book about it called The Cretingham Murder.
