Ixworth is one of those villages that used to be important and almost a town but now the main roads go round instead of through and there are just a couple of shops left in the High Street.
Just behind some of the houses in the High Street stands the large church. I looked at a map before I got there unlike Simon Knott on the Suffolk churches website who cycled right past!
The church has two side aisles so is almost as wide as it is long.
In the north aisle is the small lady chapel, with it's mother and child stature and it's own small altar.
It was a bit gloomy in the chancel
The tomb is for Richard Coddington from the 1560s
The Stained glass below is from the 20th Century
Text over the chancel arch
Font with it's interesting cover

It feels a very cold and uninviting church but I do like the stained glass window. Maybe it seems different in person. Is there an NT property nearby the name seems familiar?
ReplyDeleteI love the vivid blue 💙 of that kneeler in the chancel. And the C20 stained glass is wonderful with its use of text . Why does SK think using a satnav is "stupid" I wonder?
ReplyDeleteBuilt on the back of wool, no doubt. Love the stained glass window and it has a beautiful exterior, with the flint walls and porch.
