A striking hilltop church
This fourteenth-century hilltop church with its square tower stands boldly above a narrow valley south of Beccles. The pulpit has the names of nineteenth-century laborours carved into its base and also interesting are the fifteenth-century font, a great collection of brasses and the restored cambered tie-beam timber roof with braces. The original south porch was added in 1602. Butterfield restored the church in 1882 and was responsible for the east window and reredos.
