Whatfield, Suffolk

St Margaret, open, is externally interesting, especially the tower with attached pepper pot, and porch but dull inside - the pulpit and the west gallery are the stand out features.

ST MARGARET. Low broad W tower of the C13, with later pyramid roof. Nave of c. 1300, windows with Y- and intersected tracery, one with pretty little quatrefoils in two of the intersections. The stoup inside belongs to the same date. Dec chancel with reticulated windows. Simple C16 brick S porch. Tie-beam roof with crown-posts in the nave, wagon roof in the chancel. - Plain BENCHES, the date 1589 on one of them, of a pattern different from the others. - COMMUNION RAIL and WEST GALLERY, probably c. 1700, with turned balusters, in effect similar to twisting. - PLATE. Elizabethan Cup; Paten 1691; fine Dutch Paten of 1715 with embossed scenes and arms. - MONUMENT. William Vesey d. 1699. Nice, humble black and white marble tablet with shield at the top.

Somehow I'm not surprised to find Mee missed it.
