St Mary, Halesworth

St Mary;s is a large church that dominates this busy little town of Halesworth that is always open to visitors. It is set in a peaceful, well kept, but not over manicured church yard. There is plenty to see inside, but it is a little bit dark requiring a tripod for the interior shots. Halesworth town is very pretty with good pubs and very attractive traditional shop fronts.

St James, Dunwich

Greyfriars Priory (remains of).

The only remaining church in the small village of what was a large and thriving town with and an important trading port. The church is always open and is obviously very well cared for and is immaculate inside. Well worth visiting the remains of Greyfriars Priory. Next to the church stands the remains of the former leper hospital. Although a very small village, Dunwich is popular with visitors and has a very good pub, a small museum and a great fish and chip cafe next to the nearby beach.
