The church of St Mary at the Elms in Elm Street was originally a Norman building dedicated to St Saviour. In the 14th century it was rebuilt incorporating some of the Norman work and rededicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. As three other Ipswich churches had this title the locational suffix, referring to the elm trees that formerly surrounded the building, was added.
