Back of High Street shop, from Quaker's Lane, Haverhill
An unlisted building dated 1839 on the front, which otherwise has a modern shop front on the ground floor. It resembles a chapel or hall. The Quakers' meeting house, now two houses, is off to the near right, so it was not that. A local history site revealed the answer: it was the Market Hill Chapel built to house a break away faction of the Independent Congregational Chapel after a disagreement about finances in 1836. They moved to a new chapel about 1890.

Corner of churchyard and old factory buildings, Haverhill
The former clothing factory buildings are Victorian, grade II listed. It is surprising that a large factory could be set up right next to the town centre churchyard, Haverhill must have been very different in those days.

Haverhill St Mary?s church
Haverhill’s splendid and richly endowed church suffered a serious fire in 1665 just a year before the Great Fire of London, and very little remained except the 14th c. nave walls and tower. The three pinnacles are carved grotesque figures. At the fourth corner is the stair turret, which continues above the embattled parapet. What we see today is a typical town church rebuilt about the same time as St Paul’s Cathedral. The font is the original from before the fire. The font cover is the work of Frederick Gibberd, famed for being the designer of Liverpool’s great Catholic Cathedral. Unfortunately, the church is usually kept locked. There is little of historical or architectural interest to see here apart from the aforementioned. The interest lies in the rise of Haverhill as a town, and its trials and tribulations through the centuries, to become Suffolk’s fifth largest town today.
