St Mary

Late C15 nave with clerestorey: north and south aisles.

Nave roof in 5 bays: low pitched, cambered and moulded tie-beams with winged angels at base of braces and along cornice.

Nave and aisle roofs are leaded: money for 'ledying' bequeathed by Robert Garrard in 1533.

Floors paved with small C18 tiles in cream and red.

Mid C19 pulpit and bench ends: traditional poppy-heads.

C15 octagonal font, probably originally on a high base.

C14 chancel, heavily restored in 1850's.

C13 double piscina.

On north side, tomb chest with decorated pilasters and 3 shields to Richard Coddington and his wife: Italian leaf-carving on rounded arch of back, 3 vertically-placed brasses.

Memorial east window of 1860's in Decorated style.

Late C15 west tower with 4 diagonal buttresses and battlemented parapet.

The third panel up on the south-east buttress has the crown and arrows saltire of St. Edmund and the inscription 'Mast Robt Schot Abot': Robert Schot came from Ixworth, and was Abbot at Bury St Bdmnnds from 1469 to 1474.

3 inscribed tiles, 2 from the south wall, the other from near the west doorway, are now placed inside the base of the tower: those from the south wall are dated 1472

Thomas Vyal left £4 to the building of the tower in his will, proved 1472.

This dating evidence indicates that work on the tower began in the 1470's.
