Athelington St Peter

 

The Parish

The parish of Athelington lies in the north of Central Suffolk, Athelington is about 6 miles southeast of the market town of Eye and a couple of miles southwest of the large village of Stradbroke. The parish small in extant, less than 500 acres, and also small in population with just over 100 parishioners. The parish lies at about 50 metres above sea level on a broad arable plain crisscrossed by lanes - there is no defined village for the parish merely a scatter of farms and cottages. Athelington was not mentioned specifically in Domesday Book.


The Church

St Peter's church is a small construct with a single contiguous nave and chancel. The church is mostly in the Decorated style which dates the present building to the late 13th or early 14th Century. The church is located on a narrow north-south lane at the entrance to a track leading to the Hall, this probably indicates that the church was an estate church and the parish a closed parish where access was controlled by a single dominating land owner. Pevsner spares the church little comment except to remark upon the fleurons (decorated flower carvings) of the roof, the hammer-beam roof is a nice feature but later than the fabric and much was altered during a Victorian restoration.
