Tuesday.


This morning on our way into Ipswich, we made a detour to Elmsett Church, which is outside the village of Elmsett, to the right of a rather sunken lane. On the top of a bank on the opposite side of the lane to the Church, stands (as it has done for the last seventy five years) this rather ugly memorial. The man who put it up, Charles Westren, suffered under the tythe laws, and as a protest bought a piece of land opposite the Church, had this memorial put up as a reproach to the Church, then emigrated to Australia. I'll try and put up the detail of the memorial in my next blog.
