St John the Baptist, Little Yeldham

Click on the 'play' symbol in the second image to see all my photographs of this church as a slide show, then click on any image in the slideshow to see it large in a new page. Alternatively, if you don't have flash enabled, you can go straight to the set for this church on flickr. And this is a wholly Essex church with its little wooden bell turret. The outer gates were latched back, a nice touch, and one I found at several churches today. The interior is the work of Seddon, an architect whose quirkiness I quite like, although I could do without his enthusiasm for stone furnishings. Here, the stone screen and pulpit completely dominate the little church. As at Hellesdon, the east window was a quick fix repair after the old window was destroyed by a German bomb - by GER Smith, but still has a hasty look about it. But I quite liked it for being so friendly. Simon Knott, January 2013
