Yes, me! I live in Church Row, which as you can probably guess has the above church at the end of it. I got married in the church 5 years ago. The church also features in The Oberserver's Book of Old English Churches (Plate 1 opposite page 5).

We've got our own website in Framsden and you find out a little more about it by clicking on the link below:

An article in this week's County Life magazine promoting Framsden as commutable (which I totally disagree with) but is does give some interesting facts!

This is our cottage in Framsden (the one with the smoke coming out of the chimney). It is part of the Helmingham Estate, which has been in the Tollemache family for generations. There are several of these cottages in and around Framsden, Helmingham and Gosbeck. Our cottage is situated in a quiet dead end road with nine of these cottages in it and is number 135 (Cottage number 135). The numbering of the cottages seems quite extraordinary in today's postal address system but relates back to years ago when all the Estate cottages were numbered regardless of which road or lane they were in.
