Remains Of Church Of St Saviour

The remains of the Church of St. Saviour are located in Surlingham and are classified as a parish church ruin. The structure is almost undateable but appears to consist of three cells: a nave and chancel with a central space. The walls of this central area are robustly built, and flat buttresses can be seen on the north side. The equal width of the chancel and nave supports the idea that the building may have originally featured a central tower, which could date back to the 12th or 13th century, most likely the latter. The church is constructed of flint and was once adorned with ashlar dressings, but it currently has no roof, and only fragments of the walls remain. There is no evidence of a western tower. At intervals, holes in the walls indicate where windows once were, though none exist in the central space, further suggesting the presence of a tower. Marks of a south porch can still be discerned, and a brick arch remains in place on the west side of the central space, which is an unusual location for a chancel arch but likely served as an arch for the central tower.
