[Marble from the Empire]

In St Lawrence Church in Great Waldingfield Suffolk UK there is an interesting sight. In the 19th century two ladies from the parish went to Rome and Egypt and bought some marble fragments that were from the rich houses and palaces of the Empire. They got an Italian craftsman to make mosaics from it and shipped it back to the UK. It now lines the walls of the sanctuary in the church. A little bit of Rome in Suffolk. The church is open 2-4pm most days
