On the way to Flatford, we found ourselves unexpectedly in the vicinity of Long Melford and stopped off in search of family tombs (Savages not Smiths). I have been quite recently when staying in Clare, but still appreciated seeing, once again, the great wool church, stately at the top of the green:-
The south porch (Dowsing must have visited):-
The door:-
Inside:-
And the door to the Lady Chapel:-








Hope you didn’t miss Edmund Blunden’s beautifully placed and lettered grave.
Yes, I knew there was a Blunden connection because of a booklet about him in the church. I hadn’t realised he lived there post Tokyo and Hong Kong.
