A very handsome church in South Suffolk which I called in to visit on my way home from the Charity book sale at Acton, a couple of weeks ago.
In through the lovely porch with it's sundial
The pulpit stands on a single leg - very unusual - I guess it's been there for a long time so must be safe.
The font has seated monks carved on it - unusual
There are several of these marble plaques which give mention to money left in wills for the poor of the village
I was puzzled by this strange table thing on top of this very old trunk
Very old pieces of broken stained glass have been included in this window, something I've often seen in churches - when the stained glass was destroyed during the reformation.
This was just a quick visit as I was chilled through and not feeling the best but there is More here on Simon Knott's Suffolk Churches Index
Back Soon
The table top on the trunk makes good sense, I have no idea if it's just been a common sense addition, maybe someone else will know.

My daughter was christened in this lovely church. I always loved its light, airy feel.
