Remains Of Church Of St Mary

The remains of the Church of St Mary, a former parish church of Saxlingham Thorpe, date back to the medieval period. The structure is built of flint with robbed ashlar and brick dressings and is currently roofless. It features a west tower, an aisleless nave, and a chancel. The north, south, and west walls of the unbuttressed 16th-century tower stand almost to full height, with all dressings made of brick. The fabric of the nave and chancel is from the 11th or 12th century, characterized by rubble quoins and two blocked single splayed windows in the chancel. The chancel was lengthened in the later Middle Ages. There is a north nave door that retains some 16th-century moulded brick and a draw bar hole in the eastern jamb. The church was disused before 1700.
