Just to add additional information ;
Photograph is actually taken beside St Michael's at South Elmham, Bungay, Suffolk, NR35 1ND
St Michael's Church, RUMBURGH, (postcode IP19 0NU), has a much more distinctive and wider/smaller tower
Rumburgh village lay slightly further South than this, hence the latterday Ipswich postcode.
