Photograph Notes: "St Germaine's has some of the best benches in East Anglia, with a vitality that surpasses even those of the West Country. They fill the nave and aisles, ballflower poppyheads leaping up on all sides like Grenadiers on parade ... The figures are animated, with loving couples, drunkards, musicians and even a falling tree. Though eroded by time, worms and the hands of worshippers, these are minor sagas of mediaeval art. The older benches have backs pierced by quatrefoils" (Simon Jenkins, "England's Thousand Best Churches"). I am not sufficiently versed in mediaeval iconography to know the significance of what appears to be a felled rather than a fallen tree. And can those be the heads of greyhounds peering down from the foliage? (Monochrome seemed to suit this image better than the colour it was taken in.)
