Fornham St Genevieve, Suffolk

On my third attempt I finally found the road to St Genevieve, only to be thwarted by possibly the most aggressive Private Property notices I have ever seen [I was so daunted I forgot to take photos but they more or less said fuck off and don't come back]. Since there are no footpaths that allow access to the ruin, this now counts as a lost church - unless, I suppose, you are mates with the land owner. Ten years ago Simon Knott accessed the site and you can read his entry here.

ST GENEVIEVE. Nothing remains except the W tower.* Unbuttressed, with a lancet on the ground floor and a top parapet.

* A will of 1452 leaves money for its repair. (ARA)

No pictures, obviously, and Arthur missed it.
