This is the last post on St Edmund in Southwold, Suffolk and we are finishing with photos of the interior, also a few of the exterior. This is such a beautiful church, I didn’t want to rush it, I want people to linger and look, not rush in, look and then leave a few minutes later……
The parish church of Southwold is dedicated to St Edmund and is considered to be one of Suffolk’s finest. It lies under one continuous roof, and was built over about 60 years from the 1430s to the 1490s. It replaced a smaller 13th-century church that was destroyed by fire. The earlier church dated from the time when Southwold was a small fishing hamlet adjacent to the larger Reydon. By the 15th century Southwold was an important town in its own right, and the church was rebuilt to match its power and wealth.
Echoes of the Past 
I must say, I love all the photos you do. I find them interesting mainly because I will never be at any of these places myself. Your photos take me there. Thanks ever so much, … don

It’s beautiful. I love that ceiling.
Thank you, it was a joy to photograph and that ceiling was breathtaking, such beautiful colours and then the roof angels, perfect 🙂 Lynne
I visited the other posts on the Church of St Edmunds yesterday and this one is a fitting conclusion. The photos are amazing, both inside and out, and such lovely colours too. I love that you also add some history. I could almost be there with you. An excellent series.
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed the visit, I just though it was just too beautiful to do in one post, then I got carried away, but I enjoyed it. I just want people to see what wonderful buildings they are in their own right, but luckily you know this 🙂
It was a fabulous series of articles, thoroughly enjoyable.
Really great. I wish sometimes to just sit and look and get fascinated by all that one can miss when moving too quickly. I am glad the smaller less crowded churches get people like you in to show off their fine and distinct craftsmanship.
Lovely! Stained windows and angels blowing trumpets were caught my attention!
It was a lovely church to photograph, and I really enjoyed it, and I also liked the trumpet blowing angels 🙂
Great photos. I love details, because they get us better understand the whole. Thank You.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the photos. like you I like to take lots of photos to show the details 🙂 Lynne
