Suffolk, England

I have visited St Mary's Church on many occasions this must surely be placed in the Top Twenty of all the medieval Suffolk churches, on a personal basis I would say St Mary's is the most attractive looking church in the county if not the country. It has often been featured on Christmas Cards and Calendars

• The spire sets this church apart from all other Suffolk churches with its flying buttresses
• A magnificent angel roof [200 of them] reputedly one of the best in the country
• There are only 31 recorded roofs like this in the entire world, with 21 in Suffolk!
• Beautifully carved pews/bench ends
• Reputedly a famous healing well existed
• The Priests Door dd1200 is the oldest part of the church
• South Aisle 14c
• South Porch from 1439
• Nave and North Aisle 15c
• The clerestory windows contain the original glass
• Lectern from 1520
• Part of a Saxon Cross can be seen in the South Aisle
• A false hammerbeam roof of this type is one of only eight in existence, all in Suffolk between Sudbury and Bury st Edmunds!
• The pews [all but two] are dated c1480 with animals carved thereon
