Church of St Mary, Hall Lane, Nettlestead - Mid Suffolk
Church of C12 origins including nave walls and windows, one with distinctive Saxon-style carving. Similar reused fragments built into tower. Unrestored interior (except for chancel) with important medieval details including font, piscina and pew bench ends with elaborate carvings. Progressive corrosion of roof fixings is resulting in loss and slippage of roof tiles, recently on a large scale, posing risk to the interior. Damp conditions reported, caused by cementitious render and ineffective drainage arrangements. A grant from the Taylor Review Pilot was received in 2019 for holding repairs.
