Wherstead, St Mary's

St Mary’s Church is situated on a private farm road.  The church boasts magnificent views of the river Orwell.  There was a church on this site in 1086, although the fine Norman Arch and patches of Anglo Saxon Stonework in the walls hints that the church is earlier.  It sits in the corner of a roman Enclosure, and overlooks the River Orwell, giving magnificent views down the river.  The Church building was completely restored at the beginning of the twentieth century.
