St Botolph's church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/855647 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/855670 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/855676 stands in the grounds of Westwick Hall - home to the Berneys and later the Petres - hemmed in by tall trees on three sides and hence difficult to photograph. The church was extensively restored by J Petre in 1845. There are several C18 and C19 wall monuments > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/851893 and the east window is by Heaton, Butler and Bayne (1898) > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/855660. Other windows contain C19 glass roundels, some depicting bees > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/855661. These were funded by the Rev Henry John Coleman > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/855657 - the then rector and an enthusiastic bee keeper - from the proceeds of the sale of his honey. The font dates from the early 16th century - seen here; for detail see > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/855681 - as does the restored rood screen > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/855666 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/855667.
