St. Mary’s Church

DEBENHAM | 1 mile away

St Mary Magdalene Debenham is one of Suffolk’s most beautiful medieval churches. Inside, tall and slender arcades create a synergy between the side aisles and the nave. Soaring almost 50ft over the nave is a single hammer-beamed roof with oak timbers dated to the 15th century.

There are some very special local connections here too, which make a marriage ceremony at St Mary Magdalene Debenham and celebrations at Crow’s Hall a very fitting combination. Sir Charles Framlingham, who built Crow’s Hall in the 1500’s has an impressive tomb with life-sized effigies in the south side of the chancel.
