Church of St Mary-at-the-Quay, Ipswich

2013-06-26

A Medieval dockside church

This Medieval church lies next to Ipswich’s regenerated quayside. It was built, or perhaps rebuilt, between 1450 and 1550.

Elegant Perpendicular windows bathe the interior – and its handsome arcades – with light.

The wonderful Medieval double hammerbeam roof in the nave (one of the earliest of its type) has carved figures of apostles, other worthies and less formal images in the spandrels.

There is also a handsome octagonal 15th-century font.

We are fundraising to create a Wellbeing Heritage Centre at the church.
