St Mary, Ickworth, Suffolk
The church and churchyard are marooned on the National Trust's Ickworth estate. A pleasing and interesting interior, the result of three major restorations in the 1780s, 1830s and 1910s.
The Herveys, Earls and Marquesses of Bristol, a family with more than their fair share of colourful characters, are buried in the vault. The church was declared redundant in 1984 and bought by the Hervey family, but it lay closed, abandoned and near-derelict until the current Marquess oversaw a major restoration between 2010 and 2012, costing well over a million pounds. The church is now usually open every day.

he will squint, hide, roll over, anything to get away from my camera. There is no flash and I don't make him smile so I'm not sure what his aversion to it is!
