Benchmark, St. Mary - Rickinghall Superior, Suffolk - European Historic Survey Stones, Monuments and Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

Cut benchmark on St Mary's church, Rickinghall Superior. NE corner buttress, N face.

"This is one of two churches which formerly served the settlement at Rickinghall, although the buildings stood in different parishes, firmly separated by the ancient boundary dividing East and West Suffolk. Today the single parish of Rickinghall is ministered solely from St. Mary’s, Rickinghall Inferior, half a mile to the north, and St. Mary’s, Rickinghall Superior is in the hands of the Churches Conservation Trust, a decline in fortune probably attributable to being further from the centre of population. So, indeed, it may always have been, for the suffix “Superior” may refer to nothing more than the fact that the church stands here on somewhat higher ground."
