St Peter and St Paul's Church, Lavenham, Gothic parish church in Lavenham, England
The limestone and flint tower of St Peter and St Paul's Church rises 138 feet above the streets of medieval Lavenham, featuring intricate stone carvings.
The construction of the current church began in 1485 after the Battle of Bosworth, funded by the 13th Earl of Oxford and wealthy cloth merchants.
The interior contains five 15th-century misericords depicting medieval musicians, jesters, and East Anglian wildlife through detailed wood carvings.
The church maintains regular morning worship services every third Sunday at 10 AM and provides facilities for cyclists, including bicycle storage.
The north parclose screen from the 1520s displays the Spring family's coat of arms through thirty different exterior representations.
