Do now step into the CHURCHYARD. This was enlarged in 1908 and gravestones in front of the south side were removed about 30 years ago to give the pleasing open appearance.

Two Saxon pots made in Ipswich on the south side of Carr Street during the 7 - 9th centuries were unearthed in 1895. They are now in the Ipswich museum. Part of the churchyard is cut in the traditional way to encourage wild flowers.

Notice the Reade table tomb on the south side and runic stone let into the lower part of the south buttress. The east window of the vestry has Norman ornament.

A florinated CONSECRATION CROSS is inserted in the east wall of the chancel, beneath the window. This is one of two found during the 19th century alterations.
