THE KINGS ENGLAND
Our farthest East
Edited by Arthur Mee in 1941
MOULTON. It is the only village in Suffolk still using one of the old packhorse bridges, a grand veteran of 500 summers or more with four pointed arches astride the tiny River Kennett and parapets low enough to allow the packs to swing clear. The village green is by the river, the church on a beech crowned hill. Most of it is 15th century, but the embattled tower is a century older. It has an old mass dial. The pretty porch with quaint heads and flowers on its corners leads into the lofty nave. The arcade has capitals of flowers and above it soars the splendid clerestory, each group of its windows divided by a graceful shaft with an angel at its base. There are some modern oak benches and four old bench-ends bearing strange animals, a dragon, a unicorn and two dogs.
