Furneux Pelham

A pleasant village with a 16^th century brick manor house with shaped gables.

Although the Church of St Mary’s is an Early English and Perpendicular church it has a very interesting inscription painted round the clock on the tower: ‘Time flies – mind your business’.

In the low pitched nave roof are figures of angels with bright yellow hair and leopards with lolling red tongues. The windows are late Perpendicular and the chapel was built in the early 16^th century. There is an octagonal font of Purbeck marble, a splendid monument in the south aisle, a tomb-chest with quatrefoils and shields.
