Historical notes about the Parish of Lackford

Lackford is a little place by the River Lark, it has a small church in the fields half a mile away.  The Normans began the building of it, and later centuries added their share, the chancel being 13th century and the tower 14th, with a 15th century parapet; it has pinnacles and battlements, and there are wooden shutters in the top storey.  The walls of the tower are amazing, being a yard thick, and its lofty arch shaped like a lancet.  The 13th century men gave the chancel an unusual arcade.  On one side it runs over a rough stone seat and an Easter sepulchre, and on the other it forms the canopies of the sedilia and the piscina.  The porch and the nave are 14th century, and four lovely arches mark off a modern aisle.  There is a coffin lid with a floral cross, a canopied peephole, and a 600 year old font.

Not far away is a place where our distant ancestors buried their dead. We have seen Anglo-Saxon urns from it at Bury St Edmunds.
