Of the fourth church in this parish, only a fragment remains, it used to be hidden in a very overgrown copse, but recently the P.C.C and the Shotesham gardening and conservation group have cleared the site and made the ruin accessible to the public, and landscaped the area around it. Just the foundations of the west wall of the tower remain complete with buttresses. The church was demolished on the orders of Henry VIII, after a dispute with the Abbot of St Benet's..
