More about this scene

The church, one of the largest in Suffolk, is not a typical Suffolk wool church, and has an elegant lead spire. Inside, the 600-year-old Angelus Bell, one of the oldest in the country, is inscribed: Ave Maria Gracia Plena Dominus Tecum. Perhaps the man who made the bell had other things on his mind when it came to putting in the inscription, as he forgot to invert the words laterally in the mould, and they appear backwards on the finished article!
