Lacy Scott & Knight are an independent and long-established firm of Auctioneers & Valuers and Property Professionals. We have been selling antiques and works of art since 1869, and in our purpose-built Auction Centre situated in the heart of historic Bury St Edmunds since the 1980s.

These witty & imaginative maps portray their country's as an anthropomorphic design depicting contemporary figures, historical elements and national symbols.
