Summary

Description
English: St Mary's church - the war memorial. This 1914-18 war memorial is very striking and unusual. It was created by Francis Derwent Wood (1871-1926) and depicts a lifesize recumbent soldier carved in bronze. St Mary's church > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1406281 - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1406299 is located on an elevation beside a by-road to Thwaite, east of the main Bungay to Norwich road. 716934 was the home of the Rider Haggard family, perhaps best known for the author of 'King Solomon's Mines' and 'She' - Sir Henry Rider Haggard, who was born in West Bradenham > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/710108. The church dates from the 15th century but an earlier C13 lancet window in the chancel wall indicates that the present building as we see it today was built onto an older structure. St Mary's was extensively restored in the 19th century and the stained glass windows > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1406308 date from that time. The church still houses its original C14 octagonal font https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1406347 as well as fragments of medieval glass in one of the windows and two brasses > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1406326.
