St Andrew's church in Thelveton This view was taken from Boudica's Way. Boudica's Way leads past the churchyard of St Andrew's church in Thelveton: coming from Norwich Road it crosses Church Road, passing the Grange and following Burston Road westwards until it turns off, leading across fields, to Frenze Hall, and to Diss from there. Boudica's Way is a 40-mile footpath that links Norwich and the market town of Diss on the Suffolk borders. The name Boudica (often spelled 'Boadicea', which was the Victorian version or 'Boudicca', used by Tacitus) derives from the Celtic 'bouda' which means victory. Boudica was the wife of the Icenian king Prasutagus. When he died his kingdom was annexed by the Romans, Boudica was flogged and her daughters raped. In AD 60 or 61 Boudica led the Iceni, along with others, in revolt. They destroyed Camulodunum (Colchester) and the site of a temple to the former emperor Claudius. Boudica was defeated in the end and is reported by Tacitus to have poisoned herself. The site where she is buried is unknown. St Andrew's church > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1764785 is situated at a picturesque spot of the Thelveton Estate, bordered by fields and a cattle pasture. Boudica's Way long distance footpath > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1764759 leads past the churchyard. The building - an estate church rather than a parish church - is of Norman origins but has been extensively restored by the Mann family, Lords of the Manor, from the late 1800s onwards. The tower collapsed in 1757 and has not been replaced, the furnishings date from the C19 restoration and the marble reredos > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1764847 with mosaic inlay dates from that time. The chancel also houses a wall memorial to Thomas Mann (1886) > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1764859 which was made by C Stoatt. The Mann family owns the estate to this day. The east window > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1764855 was presented in 1899 in memory of Thomas Mann and his wife. The stained glass windows > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1764864 are of very good quality, unfortunately noboby could tell me who made them. The octagonal font > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1764872 is C15 and a large royal arms for Charles I (1620s) > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1764874 hangs above the south doorway.
