Overlooking the Surlingham Church Marsh reserve are the ruins of the 12th century St Saviour's Church. In use until the beginning of the 1700s, it is also the burial site of the acclaimed twentieth century naturalist Ted Ellis.
Another early morning. Lots of birdsong, lots of rabbits.

There is something mystical about that bench... I don't think I would sit. Is there a story behind it? Who's Herald an actual name or is the bench the resting spot for the messenger of the dead who are buried nearby? Creepy...
