All Saints Church, Little Wenham, Medieval parish church in Little Wenham, England.
All Saints Church is a parish church constructed from flint with angle buttresses decorated with flushwork and Y-tracery windows, topped by a three-stage tower with Tudor brickwork. The building displays characteristic English Gothic features throughout its structure.
The original structure dates to 1250, with the tower and south porch added during the 15th century. The bell chamber was completed later in the 16th century and shapes the tower today.
The wall paintings inside show Saint Margaret with her dragon and Saint Catherine with her wheel, honoring local families through commemorative plaques. These religious images shape the character of the church space today.
The church stands at the end of a track near Little Wenham Hall and is reached via steep steps with handrails. The path through the churchyard remains uneven, so sturdy footwear is advisable.
The chancel floor contains medieval tiles and several memorial slabs from the 17th and 18th centuries. A brass monument for Thomas Brewse from 1514 shows how long a local family has been connected to the place.
