Stowupland Holy Trinity church
Image: © Adrian S Pye Taken: 28 Apr 2007
Stowupland church is Victorian, built in 1843 in white brick. It has an elegant copper-clad broached spire. In the churchyard at a bend in the path there is a memorial with an unusual illustration of a serpent wrapped round a shillelagh drinking from the fountain of life. The rather plain font was rescued from Creeting All Saints which until 1800 stood in the same churchyard as Creeting St Mary, about three miles away. Hanging at the west end is the painted cast iron Royal Arms of George IV. The woodwork of course is mostly Victorian and coeval with the church, but the 17th century pulpit is beautifully carved with scenes from the early life of Jesus, including his circumcision and presentation at the temple amongst others. It is of foreign origin, probably Flemish, so I was told.
