ALL SAINTS, STANSFIELD
A church recorded in Doomsday Book, with 15 acres of free land.
A commanding position on a hill in the north of the village. Impressive
tower with chequered flintwork at the base.
Usual Suffolk church construction of stone, flint, some dressed stone
( possibly from original church), even some brickwork ( probably Victorian
on north wall of chancel. Two large image niches in east end wall,
scratch dial on south wall. Inside gives the impression of being somewhat
smaller, there being no aisles to the nave.
Massive timber vaulted roof to the nave, very dark. Chancel roof much
later.
Usual signs of removal of rood loft and screen though lower portion
of screen has been restored.
Stained glass - one full window in chancel to memory of Rev Phipps
(19th Century). He is portrayed as St Peter !
Random fragments collected in nearby window.
Impressive floor tiles in chancel and other places.
Church looks in good repair.
