St Mary

Langham

Suffolk

C14 and C19.

Architectural Features

Nave, reconstructed in 1877, has 2-light windows with plate tracery, but retains a blocked C14 north doorway with chamfered continuous arch.

C14 chancel: the base of the walls with alternating squares of black knapped flint and freestone

Fine octagonal C14 font, reminiscent of that at Badwell Ash: high base

All the chancel windows have old crown glass, mainly in diamond leaded panes.

On the north wall of nave, a small brass to John Jolley , benefactor of the poor of Langham.

The vestry to the south of the chancel has a crenellated top with plain flushwork panels and an external doorway which seems to be the C14 priest's doorway reused: a continuous arch with chamfered moulding and hoodmould.
