Great Wratting: St Mary - south side Nikolaus Pevsner commended a "good EE chancel with lancet windows", but in the Shell Guide Norman Scarfe denounced the "disastrous restoration" of 1887, funded by the founder of W H Smith. The setting is pleasing, on the side of the valley of a tributary of the Stour. Colours were muted on a cloudy summer morning.
