St Peter & St Paul Church
The church of St Peter and St Paul’s is a magnificent Grade One listed building, built mainly in 1300 and 1400.
Externally it is as imposing as any of the great Suffolk churches. Internally, and thanks to the destructive actions of Puritans in the 17th century, there are few decorations such as stained glass windows and no panels with pictures.
However, for the diligent visitor there are many interesting features to be found that can be overlooked by those who want to spend more than in a few minutes in the building.
The St John’s Chapel, containing the ‘Gallery Pew’, the Parclose with its intricate carving, the access to the Rood Loft, the depiction of the coats of arms and badges of the de Clares and Catherine of Aragon are just some of the features.
