Follow the brown signs

One of Suffolk’s best-kept secrets

This 13-century flint church, with a Tudor brick-topped tower, is hidden away up a track past one of the oldest houses in England.

Behind the altar the walls are alive with Medieval paintings – pick out St Margaret with her dragon and St Catherine with her wheel.

The saints are elegant and almost ghostlike, with strange blackened faces from the chemical alteration of the paint over time..

There are also wall plaques to the local Brewse family – one with the doll-sized figure of John Brewse, kneeling in eternal prayer.
