St Edmund's dates back to Norman times, and features an unusual Tudor brick tower and Victorian north aisle.
It is situated a little way away from the modern centre of the village, at the end of a pretty track, which gives the church a special feeling of peace and tranquillity, and given the comments in the visitor’s book, many visitors appreciate this
The Victorians built a large aisle on the other side in the 1860s. There was once a south porch, but this church suffered when a German plane on the way back from a bombing raid on the Midlands unloaded its unused bombs over deepest Suffolk in 1940. The little porch was completely destroyed, and hasn't been replaced
The Nave dates back to 1160 and the Chancel was added 1250. The Brick tower constructed in 1460 and the north aisle in 1869. Internal features include a 15th century rood screen, with its carving unusually hidden from the congregation. The font also dated to the 15th century
This little lonely church is opened everyday to welcome pilgrims and strangers.
