Ufford's church of the Assumption is justly famous and needs little introduction in churchcrawling circles. It is one of those special churches which is not only a most handsome building in its own right but retains more of its medieval features than most, and one extraordinary piece that is of such renown it would be worth coming here to see all on its own; the fact the church is such a gem regardless makes an additional bonus!
I first came here decades ago as my interest in churches blossomed in childhood. We knew this one was worth a special trip and I remembered it accordingly (long before I took any half decent photos of course). Being so close I couldn't resist the urge to revisit Ufford, over three decades later.
The church appears entirely of 15th century date (though clearly a church has stood on this site for much longer) and the fine west tower announces its presence as one approaches from the street. The churchyard is a green and pleasantly sheltered space (even though the trees make it hard to get an overall view of the building) and the path leads straight to the beautiful south porch, all adorned with playful flint flushwork designs. As pleasant though the exterior is however the lure of this church lies within and and is too inviting to resist.
Inside the church it is immediately clear that this light and lovely place has much of interest with medieval pews all around populated by figurative carvings, but moving from the south aisle to the nave one is confronted by what makes Ufford so famous, the font with its towering wooden canopy, reaching as high as the nave roof! The font itself is quite ordinary for Suffolk and not large, but the great wooden spire placed atop it makes it a wonder of medieval England. It is unsurprisingly the tallest in the country and a remarkable survival, it has lost the statuettes that once filled its niches (a few more recent replacements adorn it here and there) but is still crowned by the image of the pelican in piety. One has to contemplate it awhile, it dominates the narrow space of the nave like no other and is a masterpiece of medieval woodwork (to raise the cover the lower section is designed to move separately and 'telescopically' to cover that above, rather than raise the entire spire of wood).
There is more to see here beside the font of course, but that is the feature that steals the show here. Above it the medieval roof adorned with angels, sadly not the original figures which were last to Protestant iconoclast, the present pair of angels and winged cherubic heads being early 20th century. The fine woodwork of the nave pews would be worth a visit in their own right anywhere else with a remarkable range of figures adorning them which reward exploration and study. The chancel beyond also has a fine roof, this time adorned with painted shields depicting symbols of the Passion, and the glass in the east window appears old, though be aware that most of this is very clever early 20th century imitation.
Ufford church is one of the highlights of this part of Suffolk and shouldn't be missed. It is happily kept open and welcoming on both occasions I visited, and normally should be outside covid-affected times.

My Great Aunt was a magnificent lady. She was always a pioneer ahead of her time, exploring the world in her 20s, running her own school in her 30s, became a Land Girl in her 40s and so on. Amazing lady!

I've only just discovered these slides and have attempted to restore them to the best of my ability. However, they are clearly very damaged so please do not criticise the quality!! But they are too good to be locked away to be damaged further and I'd like them shared with the world

I owned the same exact edition of this book when I was a girl, and have very dear memories of my grandmother reading it to me. I grew up poor, and the illustrations inside were, what I thought, the most exquisite I had ever seen.
I read it so much that I wore out the binding. I ended up throwing it away when I was about 15 because I was stupid teenager.
When I was pregnant with Henry, I thought about this book, but couldn't remember the illustrator's name for the life of me. A few months ago, a friend of ours in Florida sent me photos of her son -- lo and behold, he was sitting with a copy of this book. I searched around online and found the exact edition I had. My mother purchased it, and now hopefully I'm creating memories for Henry with it.
This, fellow Flickrers, is a treasure to me.

Located in its own square in the town centre, the magnificent stone church of Agios Lazaros is one of the most remarkable examples of Byzantine architecture in Cyprus and lies over the tomb of the saint. Built by Byzantine Emperor Leo VI in the 9th century, the church was restored in the 17th century. Although the three domes and original bell tower of the church were destroyed in the first years during Ottoman rule, the gold-covered iconostasis has survived today and is a superb example of baroque woodcarving.
Saint Lazarus came to Cyprus after being resurrected by Jesus. He was ordained as Bishop of Kition by the Apostles Barnabas and Paul and lived in the town for 30 years. His tomb can be seen under the sanctuary. The saint is so revered that a procession is held in his honour eight days before Easter. During the procession, the icon of Saint Lazarus is carried through the streets of Larnaka.

I’m a full bread Pekinese dog with my own papers. I was abused and brought back to the breeder. The breeder called around because I had some mental issues and finally my new family adopted me. I was very apprehensive that they may hurt me for a long time. Once I trusted them I found that they would never hurt me and now I’m so very happy. My family purchased me a brother that was a pain at first but now Bogie and I can’t live without each other. We are a little frustrated with the weather these last few years in Oregon that Dad is now moving the family to Phoenix AZ. We are looking forward and so excited about playing outside all day without the rain.
Dominoes isn't really taken seriously any more, except in pubs in Scotland. I once won a turkey at christmas in a pub in the Highlands. I don't think they appreciated a stranger walking in and nicking their bird, especially as they suspected - quite rightly - that it was just beginner's luck.
I've got quite a good hand here. There are 7 dominoes that carry a 6-spot (0-6, 1-6, 2-6, 3-6, 4-6, 5-6 and 6-6). Two are on the table, and two in my hand. The 0-6, 2-6 and 6-6 are either in the boneyard or in my opponent's hand. If I play the 4-6 to block off the 4 (which I don't want to leave open since I have no other 4s), then my opponent can play any 6 he wants, and I can respond and be in a reasonably good space.

I'm really good at giving other people advice, but not so good when it comes to giving myself some! This page, prompted by Elsie and Rachel's class, represents some of the advicce I should be giving myself lately!
