St Mary's Church, Bungay, Grade I listed church in Bungay, England
St Mary's Church features a 33.5-meter-high tower with ornate carvings and heads beneath the north aisle parapet, illuminated by large windows with tracery designs.
The church, established in 1309, transformed from a Benedictine priory to a parish church following Henry VIII's dissolution of monasteries in 1536.
The ceiling displays carved roof bosses depicting angels, lions, two-headed eagles, and a bat, while a 1675 wooden dole-cupboard shows religious figures.
The building accommodates 280 people, includes restrooms and a kitchenette, and remains open daily with nearby public parking in Bungay town center.
A 17th-century Flemish panel showing the Resurrection, gifted by author H. Rider Haggard, resides in the War Memorial Chapel.
