This is the font at St. Andrew Church, Langford. This church is situated inside the STANTA military battle training area and I visited on 26th March 2010 with special permission from the MoD. The area was originally established in 1942 when a battle training area was required. Military exercises were already known in the area; tanks had trained at Thetford in the First World War. The complete takeover involved the evacuation of the villages of Buckenham Tofts, Langford, Stanford, Sturston, Tottington and West Tofts. All residents were evacuated in 1942.
Baroque monument to Sir Nicholas Garrard by Christopher Horsnaile senior.
