| Set in idyllic
surroundings about a mile from the main village of Shimpling, the Church is
approached along an avenue of lime trees. The churchyard is entered by
crossing a stone bridge over the Chad Brook.
Most of the Church dates from the 14th
Century although the door by which it is entered may be 13th century.
Extensive restoration was undertaken in the 1850s by the Hallifax family,
benefactors of the village, who lived at Chadacre Hall

The windows of the North Wall and the
Chancel display fragments of medieval glass, although most of the stained
glass is Victorian. A window of especial historic interest is in the
south aisle, which portrays the presentation of Christ in the Temple, an
outstanding example of the work of Henry Holiday, pupil of Sir Edward Burne-Jones. |
