St Stephen's Lane at the side of the Grade I-listed "Ancient House" on Buttermarket. The earliest reference to this property is a C14th one, when it was owned by the knight, Sir Richard of Martlesham. In the 16th century the house was owned by a series of local merchants including George Copping, a draper, and it was Copping who also commissioned the panelling of the ground floor room at the front of the building. He also built the 'long gallery' on the first floor. The restored front elevation, featuring pargeting and elaborate wood carvings, was not one of its original feature; these being added by Robert Sparrowe between 1660-70. The Sparrowe family became the owners of the house in 1603, and they retained ownership of it for the next 300 years. The Ancient House has been owned by Ipswich Borough Council since 1980. In addition to the ground floor retail space, there is also a small art gallery in the attic which houses occasional exhibitions.

A redundant church on Dial Lane seen from St Stephen’s Lane (behind the photographer in the main) at its junction with Buttermarket. St Lawrence’s church served as a parish church until the early 1970s, when was declared redundant by the diocese due to its falling membership. In 2008 it was reopened as a community restaurant and function venue under the auspices of the Ipswich Historic Churches Trust. The church tower houses the oldest ring of church bells in Christendom. Four of them were cast c.1450 and a fifth added c.1480. The bells remain undamaged and unmodified and still include their original clappers. In 1985 the bells were removed when the tower was declared unsafe but following the reconstruction of the tower and the installation of a new bell frame, the bells, having been overhauled by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, were returned to working use in September 2009.
