I was last at St John one chilly Boxing Day morning, on one of those dutiful trips to see Mother at Christmas. At just after dawn, it was locked, but looked a fine church and one to revisit.
So it was last Thursday, traveling back to Suffolk, I arrived at Saxmundham as the sun was setting, setting the fine church tower bathed in warm golden light.
As I stopped to take a shot of the tower, I was unaware of the vicar trying to get past in his car, but he was patient as I go my shot.
He was waiting for me at the porch, and suggested I hurry inside to see the windows that were illuminated by the sun, this I did.
-----------------------------------------------
Saxmundham is a fine town about halfway between Ipswich and Lowestoft. The A12 now bypasses it, which was unfortunate for a while because, like many small towns in that situation, it lost the passing trade which had been one of the reasons for its existence. Saxmundham, or 'Sax' as locals call it, grew to prominence in the 18th and 19th centuries, and it still has the character of a Victorian railway town, especially around the station. But it is not a tourist town, unlike its great rival Framlingham, or 'Fram', just across the A12.
I like Saxmundham a lot; there is an air of resilience about the place, and any small town with two second hand bookshops must have something going for it. What it does miss is a dominating medieval church, because St John the Baptist is away from the main street on the road to Leiston.
The graveyard is a fine place, full of the headstones of 18th and 19th century worthies. Most famous is the headstone to John Noller, which has its own sundial.
There is a crisp 19th century feel to the church, because it was subject to an 1870s restoration at the hands of Diocesan architect Richard Phipson. However, Phipson was more sensitive to the need to preserve medieval survivals than his successor Herbert Green, and so the church has lots of interesting things to see. However, Phipson wasn't above making them more medieval than they already were, and so the font, one of the best Suffolk examples of the 15th century East Anglian style, is thoroughly recut. There are aggressive little wild men around the base, and one of the shields features the instruments of the passion.
Perhaps the most interesting survival here, and a rare one, can be seen in the most easterly windows of each of the clerestories. These are the stone corbel ledges that once supported the canopy of honour over the rood. They are both carved elaborately, and the northern one is castellated. Sancta Johnannes, Ora Pro Nobis ('St John pray for us') is carved in a banner along that on the south side.
Despite these medieval survivals, the most important artistic artefacts here are in the east window of the south aisle. This is a collection of ovals of 17th century glass believed to come from Innsbruck, depicting Saints and biblical scenes. It is of excellent quality, and fascinating to look at. Indeed, apart from the poor east window there is a good collection of Victorian glass here as well. I spent about half an hour documenting it all meticulously, and then lost the memory card from my camera that had all the images on. And so, I will have to go back. Sorry.

------------------------------------------------
The church is much changed from the original church which was recorded in the Domesday Survey of 1086. Little evidence of this Norman or possibly Saxon church remains, although some masonry to be seen in the lower stage of the tower may be of this date.
We also know that the church had a South porch that contained a simple 11th century doorway. Unfortunately, the porch and doorway disappeared in a major restoration and rebuilding in 1873. However, we do have a picture of the porch from an etching in 1848.
Much of the church that we see today stems from the 19th century restoration but the church still contains many original items of an earlier date.
The Western tower (14th century) has diagonal buttresses at its western angles. The two light belfry windows and the similar west window are in the Decorated style of the early 14th century. The restored west doorway is also of this date, although some of the masonry in the lower part of the tower is arranged differently from the rest and may have formed part of the 11th century church.
The clock was given in 1880 and was restored in 1938. The parapet has lovely 15th century flint panelling (flushwork) with traceried panels. Beneath it is a band of flowers (flearons) and carved heads, in addition to a large head at the centre of the west side and a gargoyle head on the south side.
The tower is home to a peal of six bells. Three of these bells were cast c. 1480-1 510 by John Kebyll of London. Another was made in 1609 by Brend, the Norwich bell-founder, and the tenor, weighing 8cwt.3qtr.7Ib, is by Lester and Pack of Whitechapel, made in 1762. The ring was completed by the addition of a new treble bell by John Warner of London in 1880. The second bell was recast in 1938, and the bells were rehung in new oak frames by Bowell of Ipswich.
A gem in the crown that is St John's can be found in the churchyard on the tombstone of John Noller (1725), which can be found south west of the church steps and in eight yards. The east and west faces of the tombstone are small, inclined oblong recesses which form a simple and imaginative sundial. Every sundial needs a pointer or gnomon projecting in front of the dial to cast a shadow on to a marked scale. Any such projection low down on a tombstone would certainly, sooner or later, be damaged. To prevent this happening, the designer of John Noller's headstone hit upon the ingenious idea of making the edge of the headstone's surface the gnomon and obtained the relative projection by recessing the dial.
As the stone faces east and west, he carved a morning dial on one side (east face) and an evening one on the other (west face). If you look in the recesses on both faces you will see the hour markings 1,2,3,4,5 on the west recess and 7,8,9,10,11 on the east recess. 12 o'clock is not marked because at the moment of noon each dial is completely in shadow.
You will also notice that the dials are not upright on the stone but at a slant. The upper edge which acts as the gnomon is so slanted as to point exactly to the north star, or in other words, be parallel with the earth's axis.
And why was it done? Well, we are not sure, but just as some clocks are marked with tile inscription "Tempus fugit" or time flies, so this gravestone with its sundial marking the passing of time also reminds us, the living, that our time soon passes. Or perhaps it was picking up on another thought about time from the Bible:
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every
activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die,"
(Ecclesiastes 3:1-2)
The Nave
The Font c 1400
This is a typical East Anglian design with octagonal panelled bowl carved with lions interspersed with angels holding shields on which are displayed the instruments of the Passion (East), the Cross (South), the emblem of the Trinity (West) and the three crowns of East Anglia (North). The bowl of the font is original.
The Nave c 1500
Internally the building is harmonious, light and well-proportioned. The aisles are separated from the nave by 15th century (Perpendicular) arcades of four bays, with octagonal piers which have moulded capitals and bases. These are topped by six two light clerestorey windows.
At the West end of the nave is the comparatively modern glazed gallery, from which the church's peal of six bells are rung. The west window of the tower ringing chamber contains the only piece of medieval glass, the head of an angel, to survive in this church. Above the ringing chamber is a large Sanctus bell window, which in mediaeval times allowed the ringer of the Sanctus bell to see over the Rood Screen to the main altar.
Stained Glass
The 19th century stained glass throughout the church is of interest because of the subjects represented as well as the makers and artists involved.
The West window of the North aisle is described in The Popular Guide to Suffolk Churches as being "a fairly terrible product of Ward and Hughes and features an outlandishly dressed centurion". What else can be said? Beauty is obviously in the eye of the beholder.
The East window of the North aisle depicting two angels against patterned quarries is of interest because of its local connections. It was designed and painted by Mary and Bessie McKean of Saxmundham in 1872 and installed by Mr Howlett, a Saxmundham glazier.
The Victorian tour de force is obviously the West window of the South aisle, designed by the Dowager Marchioness of Waterford, a friend of the poet John Ruskin, and a well known artist and book illustrator. The glass is by O'Connor and Taylor and illustrates Jesus's ascension into heaven, in brilliant colour. Jesus stands in the centre, and the disciples kneel on either side. The drama of the scene is enhanced by the quality of the artist's work and in particular the facial features.
Pews and Pulpit
The existing pews and pulpit date from the restoration of 1873 and are made from New Zealand kaurie pine. They replace the old box pews which were so tall that many folk using them could neither see nor be seen.
The whole of the nave is crowned with a splendid 15th century single-hammerbeam arch braced roof, with castellated hammers and wooden demi-figures as corbels below the wall posts.
During the Georgian era, or perhaps before, the roof was covered in with a flat plaster ceiling. A church guide book of 1855 states that at the time only the "ends" of the roof were visible below the ceiling and that the whole interior was disfigured by galleries.
Happily the ceiling was removed in 1932 to reveal this splendid roof. It has been restored and the wall plates have been renewed, as have several of the other timbers. The ancient woodwork is less brown in appearance than the modern. The figures beneath the wall posts are mostly original.
The Chancel
One of the most distinctive features of St John's is its weeping chancel. If you stand in the nave centre aisle and look towards the altar, you will notice that the Chancel is built at a pronounced angle to the nave. This is fairly common in churches built in the shape of a cross (cruciform) but is very rare in a church of this type. The main feature is not the angle, which is much greater than usual, but that it is to the South.
Other churches with weeping chancels incline to the North, representing Jesus on the cross with his head towards the penitent thief on his right. Here it is to his left, signifying that Jesus died for the impenitent as well as the penitent. Saxmundham church is one of the few in Europe to have this feature.
The Chancel arch and the two bay arcade North and South were replaced as part of the 1873 restoration, but we think that the restorers copied the original forms (Decorated style)
The organ by Albert Pease of Hackney was installed here in the early 1950s. It has two manuals, pedals and 15 speaking stops.

I was out and about not long after sunrise on the recent May bank holiday weekend. As usual I was chasing the light with a view to landscapes, I was on my usual patch on the hilltops west of Huddersfield, above Meltham and Marsden. I’m still getting over foot surgery so my walking is restricted a bit and I was sat in the pickup watching the light when I noticed three hares chasing around, occasionally stopping to box. I decided to go back after breakfast with a longer lens and see if I could catch up with them again. Initially I used a 300mm 2.8 with 1.4 and 2x convertors. I had some success over the next few days with this. In the end I decided to use a large and very heavy 500mm and monopod. I tried the convertors but the quality dipped so I reverted back to just the 500mm but also using it freehand, no support. The more I use it the better I get-like most things in life I guess. I spent the rest of the short holiday weekend in the sun photographing lapwings, their chicks, curlew and hares, getting a suntan at the same time. I’ve ended up on a bit of a mission, it looks like this will be this summer’s challenge.
Within days I had seen deer, owls, heron as well as the lapwings and curlews etc. I wasn’t always able to get a decent shot as I was often driving at the time. I’m on a learning curve now and the results are getting better. I’ve learnt a lot about the birds and animals that I’m stalking and I’ve had to start and study the camera autofocus choices available and experiment with them. Fortunately the weather has been ok for a couple of weeks, which is unusual around here these days. There are hundreds of lapwings guarding their eggs and some with chicks, oystercatchers, a variety of ducks and of course grouse, seeing as these moors are shooting moors. The grouse are favoured at the expense of everything else, anything that is a threat or competition won’t be treated favourably by the shooting fraternity, they certainly don’t like scrutiny and over the years have made entry to the moors in certain parts as difficult as is legal-or perhaps that’s just the perception of some of the rest of us who watch these things from a distance.
SET 3 – Horn Lake Target Interim Pics: Other Changes
To piggyback on my previous description: as we flash-forward to October 2021 (one year later), I noticed for the first time this cool “local interest” section in the book department, stocked with various North Mississippi and Memphis books. I’m always a sucker for local flair, so it was really neat to see this! But once again I have to wonder – is Target actually stocking this themselves, just for a small handful of stores (since I can’t imagine these region-specific books are actually available in all of Target’s warehouses for nationwide online purchase and distribution)? Or are portions of the book department instead stocked by (local?) vendors?
(I also recently saw the same section in the Olive Branch Target, although I’m not sure if it’s still present post-remodel here in Horn Lake – which only adds fuel to my theory…)
