Church of St Andrew, Pickworth: Flowers in God's Acre
There have been a number of organisations lobbying for churchyards to be used as wildlife havens, as resources for bees, and as a reservoir of wildplants.
Pickworth churchyard is full of flowering plants, obviously planted to encourage the bees and the butterflies.

Church of St Andrew, Pickworth: Painted chancel arch
At the head of the Nave are the most stunning portion of the Medieval wall paintings revealed in 1947. The current roof pitch is lower than when painted, so much of the painting has been lost.

Church of St Andrew, Pickworth: Chancel screen
Although the cross above it was removed, presumably during the commonwealth, the carved rood screen has been retained. Pevsner says it is 14th century, although the canopy (whatever bit that is) was replaced during restoration in 1964
The parish web site says "was restored with consummate skill by Mr J H Palin who reproduced the missing coving, destroyed in 1566, redecorated parts hidden by unwanted coats of varnish and replaced the decaying beam on which the screen rested. Like the 14th century woodcarver who created this work, Mr Palin was left-handed and he was later honoured for his fine craftsmanship with an award from the Architects' Association. "
Seen from the 'working' side it is plainly a theatrical backdrop, sumptuously carved on the audience side, but from the priest's point of view very plain, a hollow sham. What a subject for a sermon that might be. I like it. There is a charm here, a humble country craftsman's attempt at elegance.
