This Norman church, mostly rebuilt in the 14th-century has a lovely wooden porch.
The chancel remains in parish use for worship, but the nave, tower and south porch are vested in the Trust.
The light, barnlike interior contains a number of Medieval treasures, including wall paintings of Nativity scenes and an early 14th-century effigy of a lady wearing a wimple.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
There is a small step.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
I grew up in Newton. In my youth there was written around the chancel arch "In the earth peace, good will to all men". In recent years when I went back, this had disappeared, presumablywhen the roof fell in.
I worked at the Four Swans Hotel in 1985. At this time the building had fallen into disrepair and sadly neglected. The door was always open so one could enter and worship. Visited Sudbury on Google Earth this evening - my how the town has grown.
