Little Waldingfield St Lawrence?s church

Here is a church that does not conform to any expectations or preconception that one may have of it. The parish is named ‘Little’ but the church is imposing and it says. ‘I am here, look at me’. There are two pinnacled turret stairs at the east end of the nave, both giving access to the roof. The south porch is stratified red brick and rubble stone (un-knapped flint). The 14th century font is interesting in that the designs are unusual. Looking towards the east is a beautiful 16th century crocketted arcade, and the tall chancel arch. Sunlight spills into the whole of the interior from the clerestory. The Stuart pulpit sits precariously on its single six inch diameter turned pillar. The parish chest with its rusty fastenings is 15th century and has a traceried front panel.
