view of church interior - nave - looking east

Source caption: "Inside St Edmund's Church. The north doorway and windows show that this church has Norman origins. The chancel, in red brick, was rebuilt and furnished by the Victorians, who also installed the two skylights in the simple medieval hammerbeam roof to let more light into the nave. The pulpit is Jacobean, and there are plain poppyhead benches."
