Church Micro 7041...South Elmham St Cross


The way to the church is over the foot bridge along the footpath, there is no official vehicle access to the church. Please park close the the cache Incy Wincy which I have marked as a trail head. Under no circumstances use the church drive as this is PRIVATE PROPERTY.

St Cross is a pretty place where the River Beck has cut down into a sweet valley, and St George sits across a meadow. You can reach the church by a footpath across a narrow bridge. Please see trail head. The south side of the church is a grand, austere sight, seeming taller than it is, like neighbouring All Saints. The clerestory seems cut off by the lack of an aisle. The tower is a bold one of the 14th century, and the clerestory dates from the renewal of the roof a century later. The overall impression is of a comfortable, sleepy building at peace on its slope. Among the modern headstones to the north of the church is one to the Canadian poet and writer Elizabeth Smart, who spent her last years in this village. Her By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept, a thinly disguised account of her obsessive love affair with the poet George Barker, became one of the great cult classic novels of the 1960s. As a result, this quiet graveyard has become an unlikely place of pilgrimage.
