Weybread St Andrew's church, Suffolk

The round western tower is out of proportion to the rest of the church. The clerestory, with its lofty windows, is the culprit. The whole church has in the past undergone such extensive restoration by the Victorians that little is worthy of note. The porch is a simple one with stone and flint panelled flushwork. The font is modern, but the 15th century font remains in the south aisle with the bowl reduced to half its original height. The rood-loft stairs are still open and the corbels that support the roof are all different, as are the bench ends. There are two piscinas, the one in the south aisle is 13th century and that in the chancel is 100 years later. There is a very recent memorial to Sergeant Alfred Ablett, the first man from Suffolk to be awarded the Victoria Cross.
