Walpole St Peter: passage under the chancel In "England's Thousand Best Churches" Simon Jenkins wrote: "This is not just a 'bolt-hole', its local nickname, but a passage with cobbles underfoot, tierceron vault and no fewer than 12 bosses. It must form the handsomest covered street in England. The purpose is unknown, but it was probably an ancient processional route of such significance that nobody dared divert it when the chancel was rebuilt above."  The building framed by the arch is the last house on School Lane.

Walpole St Peter: sunlight and shadows "It is a place not of curiosity but of subtle proportion, of the play of light on stone and wood. If English churches were Dutch Old Masters, this would be St Pieter de Hooch" (Simon Jenkins: "England's Thousand Best Churches").

Please remove your pattens at the door "It is requested that all persons will take off their Pattens at the Church Door" says the sign in the church porch ...... in the days before metalled roads and good sanitation, streets and footpaths were frequently muddy and/or strewn with human and animal waste, so pattens were worn to raise the wearer from the mess underfoot.  Pattens were a kind of strap-on overshoe, with a wooden sole raised on a metal substructure (a pair are on display above the notice), needing quite a bit of practice to be worn successfully.

"Hudd", Walpole St Peter's The "hudd" was a shelter used by the priest at rainy funerals (I guess the 'ordinary' mourners just got wet).  Now it serves as a handy storage-place for folding tables.
