A modern front cover in true East Anglian style, tall and stately. It was designed by Cecil Upcher in the 1930's and given in memory of Rev Frederic Jarvis M.A (

The lower two tiers have gilded pillared octagonal cages, the lower one with hinged doors. The very tall spire has gilded corners and 'peacock blue' panels.
