An historic church on an ancient pilgrimage route with unique medieval features.
Withersfield, Suffolk
St Mary's is on an ancient pilgrimage route from London to Walsingham, which has been redesignated in recent times with a pilgrim stamp available in church for those with a passport. The church building has a medieval core with Tudor and Victorian extensions.
Some of the notable artefacts include a 13th century cast iron door handle with a pair of salamanders on; carved wooden 15th century pew ends depicting St George, a pair of bears and a mermaid, amongst other things; and medieval graffiti in the stone work; an engraved brass floor monument; and a small piece of medieval stained glass hidden away in the clerestory windows. Curiously, there is no Victorian stained glass, but there is a 1960s installation depicting St Cecilia, and an ornate wooden rood screen with a puzzling story.
