Old churches tell a story, they can be a haven.

There is a tiny village called Burgate I visited a while ago, among fields with just a few houses. Apparently, there isn't another church like this in England. It has a large WW1 memorial.
St. Mary's

Benjamin Appleyard was the rector from 1919 until 1940 and had been an army chaplain in the Great War. He organised this memorial to be set up in a blocked arch in the chancel and used vessels and ornaments that had been made from shell cases in 1917 by wounded soldiers in the Godwaersvelde hospital near Ypres. The woodwork was made by a local carpenter.
1) These small steps go up inside the wall and I meant to look outside to see if I could see where they went, but forgot.
2) Although the church is small it has all sorts of interesting things, like this cross, most were added during the time of the Rev. Appleyard.
3) But this is very unusual. Taking this photo after just stepping inside the door, there is a partition dividing the nave from the back of the church making a baptistery, with the font.
4) A beautiful stained glass window.
5) Pews with doors to keep the cold draughts from the feet of worshippers.
6) A small room to the side of the organ has been made into a little chapel dedicated to St Edmund where the photos of so many past rectors keep watch over the people in a communion service.
