Holton St Peter Church

Holtonchurchresized 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.
