Five centuries of parishioners have worshipped at St Mary’s, a vast country church set in open fields.
Everything is on a grand scale: the east window is stunning, with glorious stained-glass images of saints and angels. The collection of hatchments and monuments is of national importance.
Tombs have life-size statues in elaborate 17th-century fashions and there are 13 hatchments wood and canvas coats of arms more than any other church in Suffolk.
The north-east brick vestry is a rare survival from the 16th-century, and a wander round the churchyard reveals many 18th-century gravestones, some with little carved skulls peeping over the top.
