This 15th c. church is almost hidden behind a high wall and lime and sycamore trees. Above the west door in the tower are the Arms of England, flanked by those of Warwick and ‘the Passion’. The font is traditional East Anglian and nothing very special. The roof of the nave is single hammerbeam, arch-braced and collared. A decorative panel of a parish chest from elsewhere has been utilised to create part of the reredos. The chancel has a small apsidal end which was clad with red brick and slate in 1800. Combined with cement rendering on the walls does nothing to enhance the outer appearance of the east end of the church. To the east lies the River Deben and the Felixstowe ferry connecting with Bawdsey on the far bank.
