| Willoughby with Sloothby, St Helena* |
St Helena’s dates back to the 14 th century; in the bell tower there is what Pevsner describes as ‘a wonderfully primeval ladder’. The octagonal font is where John Smith was baptised in 1580; he later became famous as Captain John Smith, a leader of the Jamestown Colony in Virginia.
The chancel windows depict scenes from the Jamestown Colony and include Pocahontas, wife of John Rolfe. St Helena’s is a member of ‘Caring for God’s Acre’ and there is a nature trail in the churchyard.
