Little Livermere, Suffolk

SS Peter & Paul, ruined, sits in a farmyard and there's a very prominent sign on the gatepost reading PRIVATE PROPERTY KEEP OUT which is, of course, perfectly reasonable but it does mean that it is, sadly, inaccessible. Inaccessible is probably the wrong word as it's ruined but you know what I mean.

ST PETER AND ST PAUL. In ruins. The W tower was heightened, it is said, to be seen from the Hall, no doubt in the C18. Nave and chancel in one with Y-tracery in brick surrounds, i.e. also C18. The N chapel is an C18 addition with a Gothic plaster vault. The N doorway, however, has a decorated Norman lintel, and the NE corner Saxon long-and-short work. The former BOX PEW arrangement is described by Cautley.

SS Peter & Paul (6)

Mee missed it.
