This graffiti log is one of the projects being undertaken by the Stour Valley Community Archaeology group as part of a wider community archaeology initiative.

Our aim to photograph and record the graffiti found in the Stour Valley's medieval churches. Our members will forward data to the Suffolk Medieval graffiti survey and will join the growing data set of surveys inspired by the pioneering Norfolk Medieval Graffiti Survey.

We are updating this blog constantly with a selection of photographs from the churches visited by our volunteers. We want the project to be as open and accessible as possible, and we welcome everyone who wishes to get involved in this SVCA venture.

The Stour Valley Community Archeology home page can be found at https://stourarch.wordpress.com/

If you are an SVCA member and would like some company when surveying a church please e-mail JulieThomson at svcagraffiti@gmail.com and we will post your request in this section.
