"Along St Stephen’s Lane you’ll find St Stephen’s Church…
The 15th century church was sadly abandoned for many years but it’s now been renovated and is home to Ipswich’s Tourist Information Centre.
The members of staff at the Tourist Information Centre have quickly discovered that they’re not alone in the church.
Ghostly apparitions of two elderly ladies have been witnessed in the area where the church’s organ once stood!
It’s believed the apparitions are of two old ladies who were once devoted to the upkeep of the church shortly before it was closed due to its small congregation.
The ghostly pair has now been nicknamed… the Organists!
Opposite St Stephen’s Church you’ll find the Buttermarket shopping centre…"
