Charsfield St Peter

 

The Parish

The parish of Charsfield lies in the southeastern portion of central Suffolk being roughly 5 miles north of the small port of Woodbridge. Charsfield is located just north of the B1078 road which connects Needham Market with Wickham Market. Charsfield has a rather L-shaped layout with most properties lining the small tributary of the River Deben which flows through the village, whilst others line up with the church along a northward running lane. Like most Suffolk parishes Charsfield would have largely earned its living from arable farming, this is a rich soil area supported broad field of largely cereals together with beet & in more recent times the vivid yellow of oil-seed, modern maps show an extensive area of orchards to the west of the parish too. The small stream, which runs parallel to the main street, heads eastwards to meet the Deben close to Wickham Market and thence to the south to the Deben's estuary & the North Sea passing through Woodbridge. Charsfield is sited at around 20 - 30 metres above the sea with land rising away from the stream northwards in gentl terrain where local high points reach almost 60 metres close to Monewden. Measuring just under 1,300 acres Charsfield was entirely typical of parishes in this area, within that acreage would have been supported a population of around 500 parishioners. In Domesday times Charsfield was a much more significant village, its population made amongst the largest 20% recorded in that book. and no fewer than 8 landholders had a piece of the parish, collectively their assets amounted to 17 ploughs and some meadows.


The Church

St Peter's church sits on the eastern side of that northward leading lane, which heads for Hoo. Whilst the church has ancient origins the remains of those early periods are small and it is the later additions which make St Peter memorable. A Norman Romanesque style window and a partial one too on opposite walls of the nave show that the building had its origins in the 12th century, similarly the chancel has a 13th century lancet window from the early English Gothic period. It is the church's stately red brick western tower, however, that is its show-piece. Donations from local beneficiary Henry Tolly show the tower as dating from c1454 whilst its matching southern porch is a little later at c1513. Both dates place these additions to the late Perpendicular period, a time when many churches were built or extended like Charfield's and reflecting the prosperity brought about by the wool trade and cloth weaving. Brick forms the material of the churchyard walling, too, the church sitting curiously flush to the lane with that tower best viewed from outside the chuchyard. Within there are many tress requiring ingenuity from the photographer to acquire acceptable landscape views encompassing the whole church.
