This round-towered church in the grounds of Hengrave Hall long ago ceased to be a parish church. The tower is 38ft (12m) high and 12ft (4m) in internal diameter. According to Bill Goode it is middle Saxon; Munro Cautley agrees that it is probably pre-Conquest, but Pevsner regards it as probably early Norman. It is unusual not only for its girth but for its pronounced taper. http://www.suffolkchurches.co.uk/hengrave.htm
