There are few lovelier settings for a church in Suffolk than that of St Lawrence.
It sits on a bluff overlooking the Lark Valley, and the distance from the nearest road means that all you hear are the birds, the occasional horse cropping and snorting in the adjacent field, and perhaps the breeze in the beeches.
The church grounds a well kept.
Several public footpaths meet at the churchyard gate, but to reach the church by car or bike you need to come up from the village through a new housing estate, which presumably stands on the old glebe lands. A hard track then takes you the last quarter of a mile to the pleasant churchyard.
Due to its remoteness, it is usually kept locked.

This is a great looking church in a superb location. It’s a welcome stop if you are travelling along the public walkways. It’s well-kept and you get a real sense of the Holden family and their community. There are generations of Holden clergy buried here along with members of their family. I presume they were well loved and loved the people they served. It was heartwarming to see the family, I presume, who helped look over this church and it’s congregation whilst they were alive.
