Cretingham St Peter's church, the chancel From the outside this charming little church at first glance looks cottage-like. The tower is 14th c. with battlements added by the Tudors, but the church is earlier. Here, in the chancel the battering of the walls is very apparent.

Monewden village sign The sign is surmounted by a crown and E II R, the dates 1952 and 1977 suggest the sign was erected for the silver jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. The parish church St Mary is in the centre background with the path drawing the eye to a wheatsheaf representing the agricultural heritage of the village. Opposite, a large cartwheel, a reminder that once a wheelwright, Joshua Shulver and others who may have followed him were outstanding and worthy of inclusion on the village sign. <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4293426" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4293426">Link</a>
