After finding Rattlesden church open a couple of weeks ago I went a couple of miles further to Felsham
The church is quite plain and simple inside.
I'm puzzled about the traffic cone - I didn't notice it until it appeared on this photo!
There were lots of spring flowers to cheer things up
Two lovely embroideries
All the windows except the east widow have these squares of pale stained glass, quite unusual.
East window
A memorial from WWI
The font dates from C15 but is standing on the remains of an older font.

I love the embroidery of the sea...gorgeous! Perhaps the traffic cone was covering a damaged bit of floor?
ReplyDeleteThe traffic cone is a mystery - I didn't notice it at all while in the church
DeletePrimroses! My favorite of all wildflowers.
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to see all the flowers. I guess they will have gone now for Lent
DeleteLovely inviting church. The font is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLovely wee church and interesting info in the link about the font. I, too, love primroses and ours are just starting to appear - it’s always joyous

Your churches always look so large from the outside, but inside are quite cozy. I love stained glass.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
This church seems smaller and more intimate than some of the larger churches. The embroidery pieces are lovely as are the flowers.
ReplyDeleteAs for the traffic cone, I've seen cones on the floor to indicate a wet floor. Somebody was cleaning the floor or might have spilled some water.
I found myself wondering just how many historic churches there actually are to see in England. 12,500! Which works out to 1 about every 7.5 miles. I couldn't believe it. That is astounding. How many have you toured?
ReplyDeleteAnd because I can't stop mathing, if you saw 12 churches a week, it would still take you 20 years to see them all.
DeleteThe embroideries are beautiful; I always wonder about the people who crafted these things!
ReplyDeleteThat is funny with the traffic cone, no parking in the Nave?
ReplyDeleteThe embroideries are lovely. Thanks for another great church visit!
