This is a lovely example of a Suffolk church. It has one or two peculiarities about it too. The base of the tower has a doorway north and south to allow processions to walk round the church without leaving consecrated ground. The unused south porch is built of red brick. Later additions have been added to the building which is 14th c., the nave roof for example, which had to be totally reconstructed with stronger tie-beams after threatening to push the walls outwards.
