Heaths and Hemblington

Combining holidays with genealogy provides us with these pictures.
His grandchild 4x removed send us these.
The Saxon/Norman church where the Heath family lived for a hundred or so years and where Bishop Blomfield Anna Maria Heath married the sister of Sarah Heath (wife of Jerome) was lovely.
It is solitary on high ground in the Parish of Hemblington which (since 1925) consists of that and nearby Blofield Heath (where Sarah's ancestor came from).
It has a beautiful font covered in painted figures and a wall painting (the best in the country depicting St Christopher's life.
The hall is large and now contains large totally separate dwellings.
I attach pictures of the font and church where the Heath family worshipped.
