July 2020 Following the Centenary of the end of World War One in 2018, a contribution has been made to the national 'Roll of Honour' website. Information gathered about those from Hawstead who died in both World Wars - largely by Simon Miller (deceased, former Church Warden) has been posted within the Suffolk section at https://www.roll-of-honour.com/Suffolk/Hawstead.html

The Parish of All Saints, Hawstead is currently in a state of interregnum

There is a photo gallery of All Saints Church here!

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:

Link to an amateur video of All Saints Church, Hawstead (mostly the churchyard) made in Spring 2012 and published on U-Tube

Simon Miller, formerly Church Warden, researched the Registers of Baptisms, Marriages and Burials at All Saints Church and compiled digitsed versions. He has also created a list of the war dead from Hawstead (WW1 and WW2)
