St John Stockcross

 

 The second of the churches  I visited was St john Stockcross which when I was looking at the OS map I noticed was off the road I would be taking to Boxford. Problem I had when I got there was how to get to the church let alone park near it. The church which I had spotted seem to be out the back of a house and I could not see the road leading there at the time, I found it after my visit. I also found out the benefice the church is in and will try to find out when I can return to look around the inside

Very little in the way of history on Wiki

" It is the site of a brick-built church, St John's, erected and endowed by the vicar, the Rev. H. W. Majendie in 1839"

West end with some of the north side of the church

Along the south side of the church is this fenced off family plot

Far east end of the churchyard

Commonwealth war grave of Corporal J Pocock 

On the far side of the hedge you find a churchyard extension


Like I said a short blog.

Till Next time may I wish you all a peaceful week
