All Saints Church, Little Wenham

The flint-constructed All Saints Church features angle buttresses decorated with flushwork, Y-tracery windows, and a three-stage tower topped with Tudor brickwork.

The original structure dates to 1250, with additions of a tower and south porch in the 15th century, followed by the bell chamber construction in the 1500s.

Medieval wall paintings depict Saint Margaret with her dragon and Saint Catherine with her wheel, while commemorative plaques honor the local Brewse family.

The church stands at the end of a track near Little Wenham Hall, accessible via steep steps with handrails, though the churchyard path remains uneven.

The chancel floor contains medieval tiles and five memorial slabs from the 17th and 18th centuries, alongside a brass commemorating Thomas Brewse from 1514.
