[In Jermyn's "Suffolk Collections," vol. vi. (Add. MSS. 8173.), in the
British Museum, are the following Notes of this church, taken 1st June,
1808, by H. I. and D. E. D.: "The Church consists of a nave and
chancel, both under one roof, which is covered with thatch. The chancel
is 30 ft. 3 in. long, and 15 ft. 5 in. wide. The communion-table is
neither raised nor inclosed. The floor of the whole church is also of
the same height. The nave is 30 ft. long, and 16 ft. 1 in. wide.
Between the chancel and nave are the remains of a screen, and over it
the arms of George II., between two tables containing the Lord's
Prayer, &c. In the N. E. angle is the pulpit, which is of oak, hexagon,
ordinary, as are also the pews and seats. At the W. end stands the
font, which is octagon, the faces containing roses and lions, and two
figures holding blank escutcheons, the pedestal supported by four
lions. The steeple is in the usual place, small, square, of flints, but
little higher than the roof. In it is only one bell, inscribed 1759.
The entrance into the church on the N. side is through a circular Saxon
arch, not much ornamented. On the side is another of the same
description, but more ornamented, with zig-zag moulding, &c." Then
follow the inscriptions, &c. in the chancel, of Mrs. Elizabeth Brown,
John Brown, Thomas Brown; in the nave, of Henry Keable, with extracts
from the parish register commencing in 1653.]
