St John the Baptist Church, Campsea Ashe, is an
interesting Church, with parts relating to various
centuries.
Passing through the 20th century lychgate, given by the
villagers to commemorate the coronation of King George 6th. in
1937.
You immediately see the tall 14th century tower.
As you enter the tall well proportioned 14th century inner
door you see, under the demi angel-carbels
supporting the tower arch,
the 14th century font.
The red brick vestry dates from Tudor times.
The organ chamber, just before the vestry on the north side of
the chancel,
was added during the 1800s.
During the 1869 restoration the chancel and porch were faced
by flint and arches of squared knapped flint worked over the
windows.
The first Vicar is recorded as being appointed in 1312
The present Rector is the
Rev.Canon Harry Edwards,
who lives at Marlesford Rectory.
