Dunwich, the ruins of Greyfriars (Franciscan). In the background is a church tower, possibly that of All Saints. If so, the photo was taken before the tower fell, a victim of coastal erosion - the date of this depends on the source consulted, but 1919 or 1922. From an old postcard in Christopher Skottowe's Collection.

East Bergholt, St. Mary. In this old postcard (Bulman Collection) the chief object of interest is the bell-cage, to the right. Three modern views of the church, 1, 2, 3. All © Steve Bulman. A modern view of the bell-cage. © Les Needham. TM 068 356.

Felsham, St. Peter. 155 TL 946 570. © Steve Bulman. Link.
Finningham, St. Bartholomew. This was previously in the "Unknown" section, as Elizabeth had bought the picture of a church, believing it to be in West Suffolk, but it proved not to be the church it was advertised as. Thanks are due to Janet Gimber for her marathon efforts - this one wasn't easy, as some of the porch details have changed since the postcard photo was taken. Link.

Raydon, St. Mary. 155 TM 049 386. © Steve Bulman. Link.
Reydon,  St. Margaret. From an old postcard in Geoff Watt's Collection. Previously in the "Unknown" section, this postcard is allegedly of Raydon Church. However, I'd been to Raydon Church, and it looked nothing like the postcard, nor could I find another Raydon. Doubting my own sanity for a moment, I did manage to find photos on the wider web, which confirmed that I had indeed been to Raydon (relief!!). Thanks to Janet Gimber for the correct identification - this is yet another example of a wrongly named postcard. Link.
