This cache replaces a previous CM which has since been archived. There is plenty of off-road parking beside the cache. If you want to see inside All Saints, you'll need to get the key from the farm office across the road on weekdays only.
This lovely little church sits on a rise beside the busy Thetford road. If it wasn't for the little bellcote you might think it a barn or farmhouse, and pass by without a second glance. The porch seems very extravagant for such a homely building, and is among Suffolk's best red-brick Tudor porches. It is so large inside that it is not hard to imagine its use for parish business.
The tiny 18th century pulpit has the familiar archway carvings, a contrast to the Victorian readers desk in the chancel, in the form of a fierce, lifesize eagle. Mortlock thought it originally had a secular use. On the chancel wall hangs a table of matrimonial laws, which all churches had at one time. This would originally have hung in the porch, but under the guise of curiosa, has moved into the church. The simple little war memorial plaque is the work of Morris & Co. A George III royal arms looks down imperiously from above the tower arch. The bench ends really are worth a look.
