Grade 1 listed mediaeval building in excellent condition, having had over £200,000 spent on it in the last 15yrs. Holds approx. 100 people. Situated on edge of village at boundary of Ickworth Park (National Trust estate). Redundant village school next to Church used for monthly Sunday School. All outstanding quinquennial repair work was completed during the last quarter of 2008 at a cost of £25,500. A generous grant of £5,500 was received from Suffolk Historic Churches Trust. A refurbished 'Hunter' organ was installed in November 2008.
There is a temporary ramp available but independant access for a wheelchair user is not easy. Disabled access together with toilet facilities are in the detailed planning stages.
