Looking down from the castle at the Guildhall and the church of St Peter and St Paul, the
magnificent tower of the church stands over 30 metres and took 25 years to complete. The Church of St Peter and St Paul stands in the shadow of a mound on which a castle once stood (the remains are worth a look and the mound offers a panoramic view of the town - almost a bird's eye view, in fact). The church's 100 foot flint-encrusted tower is described by Pevsner as 'one of the wonders of Suffolk' and the interior is a masterpiece of restoration, with all the essential medieval features in place.

Inside you will find the nearest thing Suffolk has to a fulfilment of the ecclesiological aspirations of a by-gone age.

The rood screen with painted panels depicting St Edmund, St Ursula, Edward the Confessor and Henry VI is particularly fine.
