Bare earth south of Cresslands Farm There is actually an emerging crop coming through the gently sloping field. It's seen from a restricted byway which, some way to the north, past the farm, seems to lose that status, becoming simply a bridleway.

Depden Church St Mary's at Depden is probably Suffolk's most remote church.  Access is by footpath only and it is a brisk ten-minute walk from the nearest vehicle access point.  Predictably, the church is situated close to the Hall, (but a long way from the village).  Services are held once a month, on the third Sunday.
