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

A typical English church with a very old cemetery

Lemons Hill Bridge carries the road across the northern end of Alton water reservoir. It links the two parts of Tattingstone village.

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.

The Flatford Granary stored grain until the 19th century when flour milling became profitable. Owned by Golding Constable, it passed to his son Abram and was eventually sold to William Bentall in 1846.

The best view of the upper part of Alton Water. A wide, fast descent to the bridge from either direction with a short climb out.
