St. Augustine's Church Burial Ground

Memorials	:	0
Location	:	Harleston, Mid Suffolk District, England
Coordinate	:	52.2045920, 0.9526440
Description	:	From http://www.suffolkchurches.co.uk/harleston.html Although Harleston isn't far from either Stowmarket or the A14, it is a deeply peaceful place. There is something organic about a thatched church in the fields, at one and at peace with the landscape around it. From the road, you need to walk down to it, set below on the edge of the ploughed fields. This is a jewel of a different kind, not a historically or artistically significant place, but being merely exquisite. The church looks as though it might be made out of gingerbread. Although the exterior facing must have been largely redone in the 19th century,... Read More	From http://www.suffolkchurches.co.uk/harleston.html Although Harleston isn't far from either Stowmarket or the A14, it is a deeply peaceful place. There is something organic about a thatched church in the fields, at one and at peace with the landscape around it. From the road, you need to walk down to it, set below on the edge of the ploughed fields. This is a jewel of a different kind, not a historically or artistically significant place, but being merely exquisite. The church looks as though it might be made out of gingerbread. Although the exterior facing must have been largely redone in the 19th century, and I think the tracery in most of the windows is also from this time, this was a typical Norman church once. There is the bare ghost of a doorway on the north side. The interior is also apparently entirely Victorian. But as you wander in this little space, other periods in the life of the building become apparent. Best of all is the rood screen, which may be 14th century judging by the circular tracery in the upper lights. Beyond, in the chancel, the woodwork is also apparently late Victorian. Apparently the building underwent a reordering in the 1930s, and so possibly the beautiful return stalls with their carved angels might actually be to the design of the Diocesan Architect of the time, who happened to be H Munro Cautley. On the edge of the graveyard is a series of iron markers which suggest a heartrending story. In a neat little row are memorials to five children of the Armstrong family, who died within a few weeks of each other in 1891. The simple cast inscriptions, each beginning In Loving Memory, read: Beatrice Armstrong, who died October 20th 1891, aged 8 years. Nelson Armstong, who died October 24th 1891, aged 5 years. Spencer Armstrong, who died October 26th 1891, aged 12 years. Percy Armstrong, who died November 8th 1891, aged 14 years. Frank Armstrong, who died December 9th 1891, aged six months. Harleston church, and its graveyard, feels intimate and loved.
