I was intrigued by the snake depicted lower right. In fact it represents a musical instrument called a serpent. According to the excellent LinkExternal link site, Battisford church (some distance away in TM0554) and nearby Barking were the home of two examples of this unusual instrument to be found in Suffolk.
