Tower of St Mary Elms
Image: © Tiger Taken: 4 Aug 2012
The only red brick tower in Ipswich gives St Mary Elms the feel of a country church despite its urban setting. Pevsner describes it as a good example from the early Tudor period, with its black brick diapering and polygonal clasping buttresses. The tower is 52 feet high and contains a ring of five bells, though they are currently silent because the frame is in poor condition.
