St Margaret's church - east window
The entrance into St Margaret's church leads through a 15th century doorway that is surrounded by a Victorian scroll on the inside > TG1617 : St Margaret's church - north doorway. The interior > TG1617 : St Margaret's church - view east - TG1617 : St Margaret's church - view west was extensively restored on two occasions: by Mrs Fellowes in 1846 and in 1878 by Major Bourchier; another restoration was carried out in 1936. The stained glass windows date from this time; several of the windows, including the east window (seen here), were made by Ward & Hughes of London. The east window commemorates Colonel Claud Bourchier who was awarded the Victoria Cross in the Crimean War. An old ledger slab depicting a skull and crossbones is set into the west wall > TG1617 : St Margaret's church - ledger stone. The church is kept locked but a key is readily available.
