Church of St John Lateran (or The Reconciliation)
This round-towered church in the grounds of Hengrave Hall long ago ceased to be a parish church. The tower is 38ft (12m) high and 12ft (4m) in internal diameter. According to Bill Goode it is middle Saxon; Munro Cautley agrees that it is probably pre-Conquest, but Pevsner regards it as probably early Norman. It is unusual not only for its girth but for its pronounced taper. http://www.suffolkchurches.co.uk/hengrave.htm

Hengrave St John the Lateran?s church
This church has not been the parish church for many years. It now belongs to the Hall in whose grounds it sits. It is only accessible by permission from the owner. The tower is remarkable in that it is Saxon with an internal diameter of 12 feet 9 inches, and tapers slightly inwards which is very rare. Inside the porch, we see an elaborate stoup and find that the church was rebuilt by Sir Thomas Hemegrave (1419). Much of what remains in the church is from that period; the font certainly is, which according to H. Munro Cautley stands on the upturned bowl of another. The monuments are quite outstanding: that of Margaret, Countess of Bath and her three husbands, John Bourchier, Thomas Kitson and Sir Richard Longe, and yet another of Sir Thomas Kitson lying between his two wives.

Detail over the main door of Hengrave Hall, Suffolk
When Hengrave Hall was built in the early sixteenth century for Sir Thomas Kitson, he required a suitably ostentatious facade. Hence the ornamental motifs above the main entrance.

Detail above the door at Hengrave Hall
When Sir Thomas Kitson had Hengrave Hall built in the early sixteenth century he was in a somewhat ostentatious mood. Consequently the facade and ornamental motifs above the main entrance are quite spectacular.
It is tagged as a Country Estate because nothing else comes close.

Hengrave Hall, from the moat
The moat, for Hengrave Hall, is now confined to a few scraps. The main moat is some 200m from the main hall, and is crossed by this bridge (in the foreground), from which the photo was taken.
