St Mary's Church, Ickworth

The church features a chancel from the mid-13th century, a limestone octagonal font, and extensive marble wall tablets commemorating the Hervey family members.

Thomas Hervey acquired the Ickworth property in 1467, establishing a tradition where each Earl and Marquess of Bristol would be interred in the church vault.

The church displays fourteen commemorative wall tablets and contains roundels of painted Flemish glass dating from the 14th to 19th centuries.

Visitors can access the church between March and November from 10am to 5pm, with reduced winter hours from 11am to 3pm.

The structure contains a red-line wall painting from the 15th century depicting the angel of Annunciation on the east wall of the chancel.
