A milk bottle containing historic artifacts from the 1920s has been reburied at a Suffolk church - exactly 100 years after it was originally placed under the pulpit.
The time capsule which contained a copy of The Times newspaper from May 15 1923 and some contemporary coins, was discovered during extensive renovation at the Sacred Heart of Jesus church in Southwold in 2019.
On Tuesday, the capsule was re-installed in the church lectern with modern day equivalents of the items contained within it.
This included a 50p piece bearing the head of King Charles III, pages from the day's Times newspaper and a photo of the current parish priest, Father Christopher Smith.

The original capsule contained a photo of the first parish priest, Fr Henry St Leger Mason and a card in Fr Henry's handwriting explaining in Latin that the time capsule would be placed under the pulpit on May 16, 1923.
The card also explained that he was the parish priest and also gave the names of the Pope, the Bishop of the Diocese of Northamptonshire and the King at the time, which was George V.

The pulpit had been removed in 2019 because it seemed out of proportion with the rest of the building and was blacking an aisle.
Father Christopher said: “I am delighted the time capsule will go into the Ambo (lectern) 100 years to the day since it was placed under the pulpit.
"The construction of the Ambo with panels from the old pulpit marks the completion of the restoration of the church and more importantly provides a worthy and dignified place for the proclamation of the Scriptures, which is in harmony with the Altar.
