We sweltered down in Newmarket and Rye.
I have never been able to trust weather sealing, I remember those DPR posts, with pictures showing various Olympus cameras having a shower filled me with dread.

I liked the colourful traditional costumes a lot. Pity it was raining, and they could not be fully appreciated.

These are Box Pews, it is a feature of English protestant churches, and were popular between 1500-1900. Wealthy families would have their own cubicle. Looks like each farming family had their own box in this church. I have never seen the whole nave filled with these. There was little space for visitors to stand at the back.

This is a fascinating building that looks as if it has been restored several times.(A pity you werent able to capture the smell!) Do the marks on the rafters indicate where nails used to hold the ceiling? Or are they insect boreholes?
The two quotations, from Ps.48 and I Kings are very uinusal and enigmatic. Perhaps the other two (illegible) plaques explain their significance.

Being in the middle of a marsh it has been restored many times. The last restoration was an almost total rebuild in 1912. It was once surrounded by water most of the year. Yes, a ceiling was removed.
