The Glory

The painting which is an integral part of the reredos at the rear of the high altar is known as The Glory and dates from the early eighteenth century.  It is an oil painting on canvas by an is unknown artist.  The letters IHS stand for the name of Jesus and are set against the light of God known as the Shekanah.  The compass holes can still be seen where the artist drew the circles of light. 

Immediately over the painting in the reredos is a crown and either side are two panels of the Decalogue (the 10 Commandments).  The Victorians failed to value the painting and covered it over.

The Statuette of the Virgin Mary

In the northwest corner of St Michael's is a fairly recent, but nonetheless charming, statue of the Virgin Mary.  The niche that it stands in is actually much older.

The Font

The baptismal font is 14th century and traditionally Suffolk, decorated with various figures.  The erosion of the years gives it an eerie charm.

Stained Glass

The church has a fine example of stained glass.  It features the announcement of Christ's birth and depicts the scene when the archangel Gabriel appeared to the shepherds.
