Churches, Free access

St Bartholomew's, Orford's parish church was originally built in the 12th century - and its grand, but ruined, chancel can still be seen in the churchyard. The surviving building is still large, dates from 14th century and has been much restored. Amongst its treasures are a number of surviving 15th and 16th century brasses and a remarkable font. Benjamin Britten loved the church; some of the composer's works premiered here and concerts are regularly held.

CherryPie on Along the seafront at PortsmouthI have been to the Naval Base on several occasions but I have never had enough time to visit Portsmouth Town. You have shown me what I have missed.
Darlene on Along the seafront at PortsmouthWhat a wonderful comprehensive post on your hometown. We visited once many years ago. I recall the castle and my eight year old daughter liked it. We also took a ferry to The Isle of Wight a few years later. It would be worth exploring in more detail, based on

travelling_han on Along the seafront at PortsmouthWhat a lovely post Mike, I have only ever been to Portsmouth to get the ferry to the Isle of Wight for a holiday. I really must stop and explore it one of these days :-)
notesoflifeuk on Along the seafront at PortsmouthI've never been, but I would love to visit sometime.
Andy on Along the seafront at PortsmouthSuch an informative piece Mike, and clearly a place so close to your heart. I must have visited as a child as I do have a clear recollection of walking around the HMS Victory, or maybe it was a replica. And I have a very clear visual memory of seeing
