Welcome to St Michael's, Occold - a fine Grade II* Listed Building that has its roots back in the 13th century. We offer a very warm welcome to worshippers and visitors alike.
Although very old, our Church offers a timeless beauty, where people over centuries have gathered to worship God.
Here, in this small rural Suffolk village, you will see how our church has developed over the centuries, with good examples of Late Medieval, Post-Reformation, Victorian, and more recent work.
Here, we hope that you will find an atmosphere of peace, tranquillity, and mystery.
Please spend time looking around, both inside and out - and please feel free to spend some time in quiet meditation or prayer if you wish. You are very welcome.
