- Chilton, Suffolk (St Mary's Church)
Away from its village, but with industrial Sudbury coming ever closer, St Mary’s has just managed to maintain its isolation.
This is a 15th-century stone-and-flint church, with a splendid 16th-century red brick tower.
The chapel – the Crane Chantry – has stunning monuments to Robert Crane, High Sheriff of Suffolk, and his two wives.
There are also some lovely 15th-century glass fragments remaining that escaped restoration.

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.
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.
