Holton St Mary, Suffolk

For me the attraction of St Mary, open, lies almost entirely in the exterior and, more particularly in its squat, slightly out of place tower. Inside there's a good crucifixion window and an early [surely replica] Gainsborough school sign, other than that it's all rather spruced up and spick and span.

ST MARY. Flint and stone. Big incomplete W tower with brick battlements. C13 chancel (see the piscina). Aisleless C14 nave (see the doorways with their small quadrant mouldings and the big head-stops of the hood-mould). - FONT. Octagonal, Perp.
