The photo today is of the church at Wereham, a neighbouring village to Stoke Ferry (s.p.b.) and to the village I grew-up in. The west tower, nave, south aisle and chancel, part of, can be seen. The photo was taken while standing in the road next to the churchyard, now almost without traffic but once a congested road (see also s.p.b.) with heavy traffic thundering through the centre of the village. The lancet windows of the chancel are clearly earlier than those of the nave, reflecting the differing attention to the building of the person, or institution, that held the resposibility for the chancel and the parishioners for the nave. At the apex of the nave roof is evidence of an earlier roof-line, this probably pre-1866 when records show that the previous thatched roof was replaced by the present Welsh slate roof. Partly obscuring the south-facing belfry light is a large surviving sundial dated 1725.
