As with a number of churches in this part of Suffolk, the tower is built against the south side of the church, and you enter the building beneath the bells.
St. Mary has a typically lovely rural interior, a testimony to loving attention in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but not without earlier survivals. It can be attested from will-evidence that its medieval dedication was to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, and from that time came the font with its elegant tracery. There are no aisles, but the nave is wide, and there is a feeling of space and light.
What coloured glass there is here is good and interesting. The oldest is in the north side of the chancel, medieval glass that looks 14th and 15th century, mostly assorted fragments but including a super shield of the Holy Trinity. The best window is in the south side of the chancel, and depicts the Risen Christ, but this glass is 20th century.
