This isn’t St Mary the Virgin Church, Dedham. This is St Mary the Virgin Church, East Bergholt. Well worth a visit.

A song that, originally from the American gospel tradition, has traveled the world, is a perfect fit for this church, which the parish has entrusted to the patron saint of "All Saints." "Oh when the Saints go marching in, oh when the Saints go marching in, oh Lord, I want to be in that number, oh when the Saints go marching in." Over the decades, new versions of the lyrics have been created repeatedly; the original text cannot be verified due to the early oral tradition. Many artists have taken up the gospel song and released their own interpretations, such as Bruce Springsteen with his session band at a concert in Dublin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6eKkirEcgE

As with much of Suffolk. Polstead Pond is another gem worthy of a detour

The name Polstead means place by the pool. The benches by the village pond are a great spot to rest and enjoy the peace of a classic Suffolk village, surrounded by history, and picture perfect timber-framed and thatched cottages.

An ancient woodland in Suffolk, Rowley Grove is a small yet lush area perfect for exploring a less-explored corner of Suffolk.

A Grade II* listed building, the All Saints' Church of Shelley is the key centrepiece of one of the most charming villages in Suffolk.

Whilst people have been worshipping on this spot for over 1,000 years, this beautiful church was originally built somewhere around 1350, nearly 700 years ago. It was originally designed with a tower in mind, but it was never completed. Legend says that every time the builders stopped for the night, the devil tore it down. Whatever happened, the five bells, considered the heaviest in England, are now housed in a bell cage and still rung before each service.

There are guided tours available in the holiday season which you can pick up from Flatford Cottage where there is also a pretty decent cafe and a picnic area. Boats are also available for hire and there are short boat tours that will take you on the beautiful Stour as far as Dedham.

This wonderfully picturesque spot on the River Stour was immortalised by John Constable's famous 1817 painting 'Flatford Mill'. This was the largest of Constable's great exhibition pieces to be painted primarily outdoors, during the summers of 1816 and 1817. Today, it's still a lovely place to wander, right in the heart of the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

A distinctive landmark with its strange mix of assorted materials and partially ruined state.

One of the quintessential rural English scenes. A dead end on road, although there is an off-road route that connects to Manningtree if you don't mind some gravel riding.

Pretty impressive as ponds go. More of a 'duck lake'.

St, Mary the Virgin Church is unusual for a number of reasons - firstly there is a foundation, but no tower. In this case not because it collapsed, but because it never got built, falling foul of the reformation, the wealth of the parish was appropriated to the Crown, and East Bergholt's tower never got built. Another unusual site is the bell cage - built as a temporary structure in 1531, it has withstood the test of time and it houses the heaviest peal of 5 in the world.

You can walk or cycle to Dedham avoiding a long detour by road.

Beautiful scenery and good walk to Dedham. (You can cycle it if you want).
