A path from the village street crosses a bridge and then through this lych gate with lots of texts and carvings.
Unusually, the outside of the church is plastered and painted white on this side
In through the porch
Into the light church that has a South aisle. The nave isn't used for services, there is a huge curtain in the chancel arch and just the chancel is heated to use for the congregation.
It looks as if this old stove is sometimes used in the chancel to keep everyone warm but there were electric heaters too.
The old coffin bier and extra chairs stored in the south aisle
Like nearby Helmingham church there are many painted texts.
Very little stained glass, just the red borders to some windows and a few pieces of older glass mixed in.
The pulpit and stairs to the long gone rood loft
These are what many people visit the church to see, probably damaged on purpose during the reformation
Much more HERE on Simon Knotts' church site.
Thanks for comments yesterday, I think I'll resell the shelving, it's not going to last long outside with or without drainage and waterproofing.
Back Soon
