Shelland Church
Shelland is a small village located just off the A14, 4 miles west of Stowmarket in Suffolk, England.
Shelland consists of roughly 10 houses, a church and Shelland Green. At the 2001 census the village had a population of 39.
Shelland Church is unique in that it is the only church in the UK with a regularly used barrel organ. It is also one of only five dedicated to "King Charles the Martyr" (Charles I).
Shelland's name is unique and derives from "Shelf land" as it is situated on a "shelf" that overlooks the village of Buxhall.
