Hawkedon is a lovely village, dominated by the 15th century St Mary's church which is situated in the middle of the village green, surrounded by a walled churchyard. Inside the porch the visitor can see a handsome carved oak roof dating from the 1400s. Down the aisles oak pews have been skilfully decorated with poppy heads. Look too for evidence of foreign visitations from mediaeval times. It is thought that Hawkedon was a stop off point for pilgrims on their way to Bury Abbey.
