St. Mary's Parish Church, Cratfield

Outside St. Mary's, Cratfield

St. Mary's, Cratfield is smaller and less imposing than the church at Fressingfield. The church is built of worn and knapped flint with extravagant use of mortar. It has a hammer-beamed roof and square, crenallated tower. Only the corner and side buttresses were mixed with stone.

Inside St. Mary's, Cratfield

Inside the portal entrance, on either side, from wall to wall, are stone-topped benches. The windows are mullioned and deeply-recessed. A sign in the porch reflects a change that then newly permitted anyone to sit anywhere. That is, seat-rentals and official 'family pew' seating was abolished by law.  In the chancel area, on the eastern side, is a three-slab-wide sandstone-brown priest's door.
