"Church of St Mary 29.7.55 II* Parish church. Medieval core. Enlarged and much restored 1857-63 for Sir Edward Kerrison and Rev. George Paterson, in a variety of Romanesque and Gothic styles. Nave, chancel, north aisle (including Cornwallis chapel) and transept, west tower, south porch. Flint rubble; C19 knapped flint facing with random stone admixture and flushwork frieze below eaves. Stone dressings. Slated roofs. Circular tower: base probably C12, with C19 re- facing; narrower octagonal belfry stage, perhaps C15, with mid C19 openings and crenellated stone parapet. North aisle windows in C13 style. Transept (entirely mid C19) has 3-light window in C14 style and angels at the foot of the gable. South side less altered: 3-light Perpendicular windows to nave and chancel, all largely renewed. C15 porch with flushwork-panelled facade; over the entrance a broad shield once painted with the Cornwallis arms. Interior. Neo-Norman aisle arcade. Mid C19 furnishings, including an elaborate stone reredos and pulpit (by James Williams of Ipswich) and a set of poppyhead benches. The most important survival is the series of monuments to the Cornwallis family of Brome Hall. Sir John Cornwallis (1544); Sir Thomas Cornwallis (1604): both with recumbent effigies on similar tomb chests. Henry Cornwallis (1598); Elizabeth, Lady Cornwallis (1680); Frederick, Lord Cornwallis (1661): all wall monuments. For details see Pevsner. Complete mid C19 stained glass."
