St Peter's Church, Felsham

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.





HERE is the link to the Suffolk Churches website for more history of this small village church.

Back Soon

  1. I love the embroidery of the sea...gorgeous! Perhaps the traffic cone was covering a damaged bit of floor?

    1. The traffic cone is a mystery - I didn't notice it at all while in the church

    1. It was lovely to see all the flowers. I guess they will have gone now for Lent

  5. Your churches always look so large from the outside, but inside are quite cozy. I love stained glass.

    God bless.

  6. This church seems smaller and more intimate than some of the larger churches. The embroidery pieces are lovely as are the flowers.
    As 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.

  7. 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?

    1. And because I can't stop mathing, if you saw 12 churches a week, it would still take you 20 years to see them all.

  8. The embroideries are beautiful; I always wonder about the people who crafted these things!
