Welcome to St Mary's.
The present church was built in the 13th century in the gothic style. The tower houses a peal of six bells which are regularly rung for services. Notably, the vestry houses a full immersion baptistry which was installed by the Victorians. This can be viewed on request, but is open during Open Churches week. Our kitchen will provide refreshments at certain services and we have disabled access and a toilet. The Church is surrounded by rolling countryside and an extensive network of rural footpaths. We are open everyday for your quiet prayers and meditation.
Our Benefice of Carlford is committed to safeguarding children, young people, and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Safeguarding Officers. Our Diocese of St. Edmundsbury & Ipswich’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer who advises our Safeguarding Officers. If you are worried that someone has been harmed, or may be harmed please contact our Safeguarding Officers ([email protected]) or the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer Karen Galloway 07785 621319 or [email protected]
If you think someone is in danger now, ring 999. Further information can be found on the diocesan website Promoting a safer church - Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich.
