St Peter’s Church is located at the north end of the village. It is
one of 42 in Suffolk with a round tower, which is one of the
tallest in Suffolk. It also has a double roof, reputed to have been
used by smugglers who brought their booty up the River Blyth. The
Norman tower dates from the early 1100s but parts of the church may
be older than 950 AD. The bell tower has three bells dating from
between 1498 and 1674.
