Layham St Andrew?s church

The church serves both Upper and Lower Layham. The roofline is low pitched and the red brick tower has no great height. A scratch dial has been re-positioned low down on the east side of the nave buttress during restoration in the 1860s. Inside the church, the lovely traditional style 13th century hexagonal purbeck marble font is standing on a modern base, supported by six marble columns around a central shaft. In the chancel, the 19th century reredos is a fine piece of the stonemason’s art, with tiled niches, crocketted pinnacles and colourful paintings. In the south west wall of the nave there is a dole shelf, which was once used to hand out bread to the poor.
