Great Wenham St John?s church

Otherwise known as Wenham Magna, this attractive little church is surrounded by trees and sits comfortably in the well-kept churchyard. The embattled tower with an old clock-face still shows the flint construction, but the body of the church is unfortunately cement-rendered. The lovely half-timbered south porch protects the ancient doorway. Inside there are 15th century unglazed patterned tiles on the floor of the sacrarium which are unglazed. The East family arms are quite impressive, with sword and helmet surmounted by the horse of the family crest. The bench ends are also quite special: one particularly good example has been removed to the Victoria and Albert museum in London.
