St Peter and St Paul's Church, Aldeburgh

The church features a fourteenth-century tower, an early sixteenth-century nave, and north and south aisles with distinct architectural elements throughout the structure.

The construction of the current church building began in 1525, replacing an earlier structure mentioned in the Domesday Book from the eleventh century.

The church holds connections to composer Benjamin Britten, commemorated through a stained glass window designed by John Piper and Patrick Reyntiens.

Regular services include Wednesday morning Holy Communion, while the church maintains a ring of eight bells cast by John Taylor & Co.

The church contains a preserved 1320 font, despite damage inflicted in 1643 when Thomas Johnson assisted William Dowsing in destroying religious imagery.
