EUSTON
Euston Church web site This church in Euston Park
plays its part in the life of the Euston Estate. It is part of Euston Hall,
opening to the public in the summer months. It is one of only four Wren style
Restoration churches built outside London in the 1670's. Only two sections
of the Gothic tower remain. The Earl of Arlington rebuilt this church in
1676. The foundation stone in the south wall was laid by the first
Duchess of Grafton who was Arlington's daughter. Worshippers come from a
wide area to enjoy its traditional services. The churchyard is a Suffolk
Wildlife site.

BARNHAM
The church of St Gregory is a modest and appealing little building, well cared- for, much loved and in regular use. It stands prominently in the Village Street, within the Barnham Conservation area, and its tower is a focal point from many parts of the parish. It is built of flint with stone dressings and has a steeply pitched roof. The basic structure dates from the 13th century, with the tower a 14th century addition. In the 1860's the 5th Duke of Grafton, patron of the living, had the interior refitted and the north aisle added. In the chancel is a fine 13th century piscina and on the south side of the nave are the arms of William III of c.1695. The churchyard is surrounded by mature lime trees and is still in use for burials. The church is open daily throughout the year. Sylvia |

TROSTON
Welcome to our fine mediaeval
church, unusual among Suffolk churches, because it dates
mainly from the 13th and early 14th centuries. Importantly,
there are interesting wall paintings which are shortly due
for further conservation as part of our ambitious restoration
programme. (These paintings remind us that the walls
were probably extensively covered with paintings before the Reformation.)
We have a well maintained churchyard, remembrance garden, wild
flower and meadow grass areas. Over 50 species of plants have been
revealed following a recent survey by Suffolk Wildlife Trust.
The church is open DAILY. Please visit us and sign our visitors book and visit our web site. David Troston Church web site

FAKENHAM MAGNA
Fakenham Magna Church web site Saint Peter's Church is situated
in the middle of the village, the oldest part of the
present structure has pre Norman conquest quoins in the
north and south nave walls and the bulk of the nave is from
the 14th century as is the tower. The chancel dates from the
13th century. Y shaped windows add to the beauty of the building
and fine stained glass in the chancel is worthy of inspection
and even the Victorian restoration of the building was done in
a pleasing manner. A visit is well worth while as every
century since the 11th has left its mark on this place and the church
guide, available for a small donation will give a full description
to all the historical details.
Please see the church notice board for the key location details. Like so many of our churches, this one has a very small congregation so visitors to services and extra help in keeping this place of beauty open are greatly appreciated. Edward Fakenham Magna church web site |
