For a good, colourful description of All Saints Church, Hawstead see the Suffolk Churches website which is a labour of love (or so it seems) by one Simon Knott. Simon has also produced a similar survey of Norfolk churches and it looks like he has now embarked on dealing with Essex churches!
The National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Societies (NADFAS) has produced a substantial document "Record of Church Furnishings" relating to All Saints Church, Hawstead. It relates to visits by NADFAS members in 2007 and 2008 and is kept by the Church Warden. Here's the title pages:
