More about this scene
Most of the nave and aisles and the porch were paid for by John de Vere, 13th Earl of Oxford, of Castle Hedingham and Lavenham. The porch is decorated with the de Vere stars, coats of arms and two boars, often mistaken for sheep, a play on words, as 'verres' is Latin for a boar pig. During a restoration in 1965, statues of St Peter and St Paul by Eric Winters were placed in the central niche, a gift of the Friends of Lavenham Church.
