Books and Bric-a-brac in Sibton St Peter's Church

Seemed like a plan - a church visit and a book sale - two blog posts in one visit!.

 This is where I went on Saturday morning. Sibton is a very small village that almost joins Peasenhall  on the A1120. There was once an Abbey there but the ruins are not open to the public.

 There is  a book and bric-a-brac sale every now and again and I know I've been to it before but can't find any mention of it.

St Peter's Church is unusual because for many years it has been leased to 'The Friend's of St Peters' and they have concerts as well as these sales. The main part of the church nave is usually unfurnished. The burial ground is a conservation area and it is full of wild flowers.

The lych gate is also the village war memorial

East window and altar

 Crowds looking at books which are everywhere on tables and on the few pews that remain.

Amongst the bric-a-brac someone was obviously clearing out a collection of Motto ware

At the west end of the church is a kitchen area and tables, so I sat for a coffee and sausage roll and took two photos

Of course what I didn't take into consideration was how busy the book sale was with very little room to move and not a lot of space for taking photos. So for more and better information and photos have a look at the Suffolk Churches website here.

Back Soon
