"This is a large church, very much in the Decorated style of the 14th century. The spire has St Peter's keys in gold upon it, which we will come back to in a moment. It replaced an 18th century spire, which was taken down as unsafe in 1975. There is a processional way at the base of the tower, as at Ipswich St Lawrence and nearby Combs. There is a massive 15th century south porch, not as pretty as the one on the other side, but bearing the marks of continual use over the centuries."
