you are looking for a small pot with log and room for small
TB'S/COINS.
Lost in the lonely hills to the south east of Bury, the church
is a noble prospect, a hill top tower raising its head to heaven.
It is said that you can see 16 other towers from the top of it. You
certainly get a fine view of this one from the busy Bury to Sudbury
road, but three miles later you find yourself very much in the
outback. A field in this parish had the medieval name Hellesdun,
and is one of the sites suggested as that of the martyrdom of St
Edmund, which happened at a place of that name. To be honest, Hoxne
still seems more likely, but there is also a Sutton here, the name
of the place where the body was taken, and Hoxne has never
satisfactorily come up with one of those.
The graveyard here is a wildlife sanctuary, with open fields
beyond. A light clerestory came with the north aisle, but Mortlock
thought the rest of the building much earlier, probably Norman. In
any case, there is a great sense of continuity, although perhaps
the late medieval glory of the Perpendicular rules over all.
A 20th century carved image of St George stands in a medieval
niche flanking the chancel arch, and the glorious reredos is the
best of its kind in the county. St George must have been a very
high Anglo-catholic church in its day, and the reredos, with its
depictions of the Adoration of the Shepherds and the Magi, and the
figures of St George and St Felix flanking the piece, is a relic of
those days.
