In Reydon the early 14th century St Margaret’s church, sits quite isolated from the village along the Wangford Road. The big churchyard and the adjacent Southwold Cemetery were unusual in the absence of grand memorials to members of local families. Both are dominated by simple upright headstones, decoration extending only to the choice of lettering and some etched images. There is one exception and unusually Pevsner gives an extended description: ‘Large Monument in the churchyard to Mrs Watts, signed Paul R. Montford, 1921. A boldly stepped base and on it three bronze figures: a gentleman in a cloak, a demi-nude man kneeling and weeping, and an angel with up-spread wings.’
