Description
The ruin of a charnel house, dating from 1387, is located about 10 meters south of the south aisle of the Church of St. Mary in Mildenhall. It was built for Ralph de Walsham and is constructed from flint rubble with freestone dressings. A notable feature is a late 19th-century moulded arched doorway in the 13th-century Gothic style, which was added when the ruin was adapted for the vault of the Read family. This doorway is framed by a limestone slab that bears epitaphs for several members of the Read family. To the right of the doorway, there are remains of steps leading up to the chapel of St. Michael, which was constructed above the charnel house.
