St James

From the churchyard there is a beautiful view over the little Glem Valley to the hall, seat of the Poleys (pronounced Pooley).

Setting and position play a crucial part in the impact of the building and Long Melford's Holy Trinity is perhaps the finest example of this.

From the west and south, the combination of village green, cottages and church at Cavendish is perfect, and makes one of the loveliest and most famous English villages scenes.
