St Bartholomew, Orford is a glorious church also very much vaut le détour. It was originally Norman but there have been many changes over the centuries (detailed here). The font is fifteenth century, it has ‘a pieta, the weeping Mother of God holding the broken body of her son in a detail of the Deposition from the Cross’ (quotation from an excellent blog about the church by Simon Knott here).
