St Mary's Church, Redgrave

The flint rubble church features tall five-bay arcades with pointed arches, quatrefoil piers, and a decorated east window with medieval tracery.

The church construction began between 1280 and 1350, with the tower receiving red brick refacing during the late 18th century modifications.

The interior holds thirteen funeral hatchments of the Bacon, Holt, and Wilson families, forming the largest collection of such artifacts in Suffolk.

The church stands on elevated ground approximately one kilometer east of Redgrave village, with parking available along the adjacent lane.

A burial vault beneath the church, discovered in 2010, contains a tunnel with historical coffins that opened for public viewing in 2011.
