Black Plantation

St Botolph's church, Botesdale, Suffolk A semi-detached church! It was built in the late 15th century a chantry chapel and when chantry chapels were abolished in the 1540s it became a school and a house was added alongside for the schoolmaster. In 1884, it was restored to use as a church, still as a chapel of ease to Redgrave.
