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.

We were blown away at the view when we entered the main path to the church - you can see why this is a Grade 1 Listed Building that is regarded as one of the finest examples of Late Perpendicular Gothic architecture in England. The impressive tower is 141 feet tall and the interior has some outstanding fittings, including a painted rood screen dating from about 1330 and an octagonal font also from the 14th century. If you visit the wonderful village of Lavenham then make sure that you do not miss this outstanding church.

We are not residents of Hadleigh but knew we had to locate St Marys Church to buy our programmes for the Hidden Gardens event. Once we parked we looked up to see an amazing church spire & decided to head for the church which turned out to be St Mary's. It is a beautiful church & worth a visit. The volunteers within the church were exceptionally helpful. We hope the funds from this event supported church well.
