Clear the paths

Lovely setting up on the hill above the half-timbered village houses.

Picture postcard view across the valley to the spire of Great Finborough church on the horizon.

In front of St Nicholas' Church sits the Old Moot House, is a 15th century grade II listed building. A moot house is a place where public meetings would have been held. Moot is the Saxon word for meeting.

Well preserved medieval church, with some evidence of an even earlier church, which is full of references to the village history. Open the 14th century south door and imagine this door handle turning every day since 1340. Inside is the Purbeck marble font, recut from one predating the 1340 church. Are this and several romanesque carved stones in the arcade bases from the earlier church listed in the Doomsday Book? View the finely carved rood screen (1460-80), ogee arched, double sided and painted. The Lavers & Barraud east window is amongst the finest high Victorian stained glass in East Anglia. In the traceries of other windows are rescued pieces of medieval painted glass. Chancel memorials commemorate the 17th and 18th century Grigby family of Drinkstone Park and others who were killed by gunshot or drowned at sea. The fine carving of iconic animals and figures on the wooden pews are the work of Thomas Wormald of Bury St Edmunds. The associations of the church go back to the famous Norman Louvaine, Bohun and Burchier 14th and 15th century families.
