St Michael The Archangel

The tower contains 8 bells, the earliest dated 1583.

The chancel was lengthened and the 2 chapels built by the 3rd Duke of Norfolk circa 1550, and as a result the chancel is almost as long as the nave, and the east end of the church wider than the rest.

At the rear of the nave, the organ, built by Thamar of Peterborough in 1674 for Pembroke College, Cambridge, and presented by them to Framlingham church in 1708, was replaced on its gallery in 1970.

The organ case and the complete set of painted pipes dare from 1630.

The high C12 chancel arch is a survival of the earlier church, and a row of corbel-heads below the level of the present corbels supporting the aisle roofs indicate the presence of earlier aisles.

The north ana south chapels contain a group of important monuments to the Howards, described by Pevsner as 'one of the best series of mid-C16 Early Renaissance monuments in Englana'.

Details of all the monuments, and of many other features of the interior, are well set out in the booklet "The Church of Saint Michael, Framlingham' by A.J. Martin, 1978, (available in the church), ana have not been repeated here.
