The other church visit from the weekend before last, the church was full of poppies on the Saturday before Remembrance Sunday.
A walk up to the church through old trees
Quite unusual is the stair turret going up the outside right to the battlements
Some lights came on automatically as I opened the door but it was a gloomy day, so they didn't have much effect.
Looking down the nave to the chancel, the church is wide with aisles both north and south
Typical Victorian stained glass
Some of the poppies for Remembrance Sunday behind the altar
Coat of Arms for Queen Anne above the chancel arch
More poppies over the font and it's cover
This bier for carrying the coffin in the past, not common in churches now but there are several remaining
And even more poppies at the base of the tower
Back Soon

You certainly have a lot of these small parish churches to visit, yet another interesting one today. To be honest, I find the small avenue of trees rather spooky, great photo but spooky! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIs it snowing with you? None here, at least I don't think so, it's still dark outside and I haven't looked.
700 churches in Suffolk! I won't be visiting all of them!
DeleteWe have pouring rain and dark skies - horrible
I love the curtains of poppies. The black netting really shows them off. So simple, yet really effective.
ReplyDeleteMany churches seem to do the poppies like this now - it's very effective
