I was intrigued by the snake depicted lower right. In fact it represents a musical instrument called a serpent. According to the excellent http://www.suffolkchurches.co.uk site, Battisford church (some distance away in Image) and nearby Barking were the home of two examples of this unusual instrument to be found in Suffolk.
