IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
All Saints South Elmham, HALESWORTH, IP19 0PB

Road leading to All Saints church only near to St. Michael South Elmham, Suffolk. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1770715 for view of the church.

South Elmham All Saints Church is set alone in the fields with just the attractive Tudor Church Farm with its pond and moats for company. It is a real overgrown country churchyard and is very peaceful. It is actually situated at St Nicholas South Elmham, the church of which fell down or was demolished several hundred years ago and the parish was combined with All Saints. This is the road up to the church and farm which stops short and a designated footpath leads along the edge of a ploughed field to the north corner of the churchyard. It is quite muddy and it is not easy to park a car. This view looks back towards The Old Rectory and the road at All Saints Common. The church is looked after by the Churches Conservation Trust - see http://www.visitchurches.org.uk/Ourchurches/Completelistofchurches/All-Saints-Church-South-Elmham-Suffolk/ See http://www.suffolkchurches.co.uk/selallsaints.html for a fine description and more photographs of the church.

This 17th century farmhouse is adjacent to All Saints Church. The parishes of All Saints and St Nicholas were merged into a combined parish in 1737.

The road up to the church and farm stops short and a designated footpath leads along the edge of a ploughed field to the north corner of the churchyard, through the entrance seen in the centre of the photograph. It is quite muddy and it is not easy to park a car. The round tower is Norman, although it has been heightened more recently. The nave is Norman. There was heavy restoration in the 1870s but nothing can take away from the setting. See http://www.suffolkchurches.co.uk/selallsaints.html for a fine description and more photographs.

The gravestone in the foreground is of particular interest for me as it belongs to my great great great grandfather William Page who died on 26th May 1855 aged 72. Thirty five years ago the gravestone of his wife was alongside but had fallen over and has now been removed. The church is looked after by the Churches Conservation Trust.
