Holy Trinity Long Melford Church

Reviewed By R6472KXjanec - Suffolk, United Kingdom

The church is set on the top of Long Melford Green just to the side of Kentwell Hall - also well worth a visit, along with Melford Hall (National Trust) just across the road. This church is stunning and with the lovely lady chapel at the end is the largest church in the country that isn't a Cathedral. The beautiful stain glass windows tell a story and include characters from Alice in Wonderland and Beatrix Potter. (Melford Hall is where Beatrix Potter used to stay with her animals and they house the original Jemima Puddleduck.) The church has guided tours and a shop. Ensure you visit this beautiful church on your walk around Long Melford - so many stay on the High Street and don't go any further than the bridge opposite the Bull Hotel. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside where you can walk for miles.

St Julian's Shrine

The Julian Centre is currently CLOSED to visitors until further notice. However, St Julian’s Church and Julian’s Cell are OPEN to all for daily worship, silent prayer and visiting. COVID-19 regulations must be followed.

Reviewed By johnpI2804PY

Sorry for the late review! I visited last year, and found the staff of the centre incredibly helpful. I'd heard that Julian was a mystic with a very forward-thinking religious attitude, and went to get a better understanding of who she was as a person. By talking to some of the workers, I found out so much about her and the surrounding areas, and got many recommendations on where to go for more beautiful religious history in East Anglia. Thank you so much for the awesome time, and interesting histories.

St Peter Mancroft

Located in the market place in the heart of the medieval city of Norwich, St Peter Mancroft is the largest of the city's 31 surviving medieval parish churches and one of the finest perpendicular parish churches in Norfolk. It is known for its medieval stained glass, its collection of medieval and renaissance treasures and its importance as a pioneering tower in the uniquely English art of change-ringing on church bells.

Reviewed By Jobber900 - Norwich, United Kingdom

While visiting places in the centre of Norwich this church is a must see. The stained glass widows are spectacular.

St. Mary's Church

Spectacular grade 1 listed medieval church in the Church of England with lots to see and an extensive programme of worship services and community activities. You're always welcome. Admission is free. St Mary's is the civic church of Bury St Edmunds and is one of England's most historic as well as one of the biggest. The spectacular west window is the largest of any parish church in the country. The 15th Century hammerbeam angel-roof is internationally recognised. Visit the tomb of Mary Tudor (Queen of France and favourite sister of Henry VIII) at the east end and lots more besides. Our volunteer stewards will try to answer any of your questions. St Mary's remains a beautiful peaceful place to enjoy stillness and to pray.

Reviewed By idlelayabout - Milton, United Kingdom

I was more impressed with the church than the nearby cathedral. Literally awe inspiring, plenty to see, with some really excellent volunteers. Well worth the visit.

Wymondham Abbey is located in the market town of Wymondham and is the town's parish church. As well as being an active church with services every day, the Abbey is also a hub for the community for events such as family activities and concerts. In November 2015 the Abbey Experience opens with improved facilities including accessible toilets, enhanced visitor experience including the display of original artefacts and manuscripts and hands on activities for adults and children to engage in the heritage of this special place. There is lots to see at the Abbey and our Stewards are always on hand to answer questions. The Abbey also has a shop which sells souvenirs, locally made gifts and produce, seasonal products and spiritual books. There are regular events at the Abbey so do visit the Abbey website for further details and to check opening hours.
