A quick cache and dash which is hidden outside of the churchyard.
There is ample parking available right in front of the
graveyard.
This blissfully serene church and graveyard sits, tree-surrounded,
in the backroads of north-east Suffolk, just off the main A143
Beccles to Blythburgh road. The church is open every day, making it
a wonderful goal for a pilgrimage, or quiet spot to rest for a
passing stranger, and it contains one of the great treasures of
medieval Suffolk. The chunky tower and long chancel are rather
deceptive, since this is actually a very small church; it is
basically a single-cell Norman church that has been enhanced. At
the time of White's Directory in 1844 the church was thatched. Very
few Norman features survive in the fabric now, although there are
windows from just about every period. The most striking external
feature is probably the Tudor-rebuilt south doorway, which retains
its original door, although it is now blocked off within. The
doorway is barely four feet six inches high, but on the inside it
has a tall Norman archway.
Weston is blessed with one of the thirteen surviving Seven
Sacrament fonts in Suffolk. (see the related web page for

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I
would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he
can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid
duplication
