- Redgrave, Suffolk (St Mary's Church)
Five centuries of parishioners have worshipped at St Mary’s, a vast country church set in open fields.
Everything is on a grand scale: the east window is stunning, with glorious stained-glass images of saints and angels. The collection of hatchments and monuments is of national importance.
Tombs have life-size statues in elaborate 17th-century fashions and there are 13 hatchments – wood and canvas coats of arms – more than any other church in Suffolk.
The north-east brick vestry is a rare survival from the 16th-century, and a wander round the churchyard reveals many 18th-century gravestones, some with little carved skulls peeping over the top.

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.
Visitors with disabilities should be dropped off at the church entrance, otherwise the access is via a slope.
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.
