Stradishall St Margaret

 

The Parish

The parish of Stradishall lies in western Suffolk quite close to its border with neighbouring Cambridgeshire and also not far from Essex. Stradishall is located about 6 miles northeast of the market town of Haverhill. Stradishall is a crossroads settlement formed where the A143 road from Haverhill to Bury St Edmunds crosses the B1063 which runs from Newmarket to Clare. The village has grown southwards along the B1063 over the centuries. The area is rich agricultural (arable) land in the gently rolling lands of western Suffolk. The parish is drained by the headwaters of the River Glem, this heads eastwards to join the Stour just west of Long Melford from there heads for the North Sea. Stradishall is sited at around 80 metres above the sea and it sits on a gentle valley bottom with land rising 30 metres to both north and south. The parish was of a fairly typical size for western Suffolk, it covered almost 1,400 acres and would have supported around 380 parishioners. In Domesday times Stradishall, held by on Richard son of Count Gilbert, was a small place indeed just 3 ploughs and a small meadow are listed as assets.


The Church

St Margaret's church sits in the southern end of the village alongside the B1063 where it crosses the small stream that forms the feeder for the Glem. The church is dated by Pevsner to two distinct periods, the northern aisle and western tower he places as of late 13th or early 14th centuries, the southern aisle and chancel are in the Decorated style which places them towards the middle 14th century. The timber porch is an unusual feature but Pevsner is reticent on that piece's date. The church is screened from the B1063 by a chest-high wall which is backed by a strip of rather mature and concealing trees. A gateway gives access to the graveyard but there are still many trees which quite markedly restrict the views of the building and limit the photographic opportunities.
