A surprise, this big church in its wide unfenced graveyard, in the centre of a large village. It has all the greater presence here in high Suffolk, surrounded as it is by villages with smaller churches. Around these parts, only Eye is more imposing.
The south tower is massive, forming an entrance, and the nave stretched either side of it beyond creates the impression of a gatehouse to a baronial castle. The tower is about a century later than the 13th century nave against which it stands. Why was the tower built to the south and not to the west? Suffolk has some thirty-odd south towers, but they are mainly in the south-east of the county. It may have been that the ground was too soft to the west, or that there wasn't room then, although the graveyard stretches widely to the west today. Perhaps they simply thought it looked better that way.
The interior of All Saints is almost entirely the work of Richard Phipson, in 1870. This was one of his last jobs before his appointment as Diocesan architect. As usual with him, it is mostly safe and sensible. His crisp use of encaustic tiles in the sanctuary prefigures those of his masterpiece, Ipswich St Mary le Tower. The reredos is also his design; Mortlock tells us that it was paid for by the Poet Laureate Robert Bridges, and carved in Belgium. Phipson's, too, are the roofs, and most of the furnishings.
There are few medieval survivals, but the traditional East Anglian 15th century font is a good one.
