A Stunningly beautiful Church.
Outside is both stark and magnificent. Inside, it is bright and light, with a real welcoming feel.
The stained glass windows are beautiful.
Worth taking a walk off the beaten track to spend 5 mins and enjoy this Church.
May your God go with you.

Just popped in as parked nearby. Some pretty Windows, an excellent exhibition of art of the stations of the cross. Quite thought provoking. Warm and dry inside with a comfortable atmosphere. Sign outside asked us to enter for a rest, sit down and a prayer. We did and felt it was well worth it . Took some lovely photos. It was nice, thank you.

I would like to thank the St Johns Ambulance for taking good care of my husband on the day of the Christmas Market when he fainted. Their care and attention revealed a problem that otherwise would not have been discovered and led us to consult our GP. My husband is now receiving consultation and referral to treat his condition. Once again, many many thanks, you did a great job.

Lovely small village church. Having work done on the roof but pretty. Parking will be a problem though.

A stunning steeple that points 170 feet into the sky. Apart from the steeple the rest of the church can look drab. However, looks are deceptive. The doors of the church are wide open and visitors are not only welcome, they are made to feel welcome.

The interior is all light from the many splendid windows and the Stations of the Cross, painted by the British artist Iain McKillop, pulse with the pain and drama of Calvary.

Drop by, light a candle and remember those who have gone and the journey we are all on.⁷

The church of St John the Evangelist was built in 1841 and features cast iron piers disguised by Suffolk white bricks whilst most of the building was brick. The octagonal spire was originally open on 3 sides but strengthened in 1872 with red brick infill.
The church features many stained glass windows 0f fine quality and traditional stations of the cross were commissioned in 2006 and dedicated by the Bishop of Dunwich in 2008.
The tower houses a single bell made in 1841 by Thomas Mears, founder of London.
The church is open daily for private prayer and viewing.
