My Quiet Life in Suffolk: St George’s Wyverstone

0
74


 Nearly the final village listed on the Suffolk Church buildings web site (solely Yaxley and Yoxford after the W’s)

St George’s is within the small village of Wyverstone and a part of the identical benefice as Bacton and Cotton that I visited in March .

It is a tall, skinny however small church with clerestory home windows however no facet aisles

 

 

The porch is wood  and appears actually outdated.

View down the nave and on this church the kneelers are all the identical.

Essentially the most fascinating factor right here is the early sixteenth Century roodscreen. It seems a bit battered however in response to the Suffolk Church buildings web site it’s the solely rood-screen in-situ in Suffolk the place the figures are carved in aid

 

One Stained Glass window dates from 1926 and is much like many all around the nation made by  William Glasby

 

 

 

A typical Church chest

There are only a few items of outdated stained glass remaining on this window

There are two units of Royal Coats of Arms the primary one was modified with the kings from Charles to George
and the second is richly carved for William III

The font is carved too

There are a couple of bits of light glass left in a single window. Relationship again to Medieval instances

It was a number of weeks in the past in late April once I visited Wyverstone and located the lilac already in flower right here, whereas my white lilac within the header did not seem till two weeks later.

Again Tomorrow
