Daughter in Law took a different route to Sutton Hoo when we went than I do and we went down a road that was unfamiliar to me.
I spotted something beside the road that needed a second look.
This is the font that was once in Debach church, covered by something similar to a lych gate that was actually built from money left to the village by some residents – the metal plaque gives details.
The font and little building and a small part of the graveyard is all that’s available to see of All Saints Church in Debach which was sold off during the 1970s to be turned into a house. It’s now privately owned , and only just visible from the driveway.
On the Suffolk Churches Index Simon Knott last visited in 2008 and the font has been put there since that visit – he writes a short bit of history HERE
(BTW Debach is pronounced Debbidge)
