A slightly sad little church, secreted behind trees next to Wattisham Hall. Inside the porch, the south doorway is Norman, with a detached column either side. On the door, there is a 14th century ring handle and back-plate. Declared redundant in the 1970s, it is still in use as a venue for meetings and as a village hall. It is struggling to survive despite being funded by Heritage Lottery money. The octagonal font has unusual billeting around the top of the bowl. A dormer window in the north and south-facing roof of the chancel once shed light onto the rood. The roofs are simple arch-braced and have been plaster-boarded. Where the altar once stood is the bar, and the benches have been replaced by tables and chairs. A large ledger slab on the floor is to 17th century knight, Sir William Blomfeild.
