All Saints' Church, Laxfield

Welcome to All Saints' Laxfield.

We are a fairly small but welcoming group of Christians who strive to be an outward looking, community-focused church with a variety of worship styles. We value strong connections with our village primary school and host events in and around the church, from hosting stalls for the Community and Christmas markets, to the Tower Café Breakfast or Stir Up Supper.

We are a Fairtrade Church and a registered Eco Church (bronze award) and are working to reduce our impact on the environment.

St Lawrence, Brundish

Welcome to St Lawrence Brundish. We are still continuing with a few weekday services online. For expected services and events, please see our news and notices and one off events pages.

The church of St Lawrence is a handsome fourteenth century building with Norman origins situated a little way from the rest of the village with just a farmhouse for company. It enjoys the most wonderful natural light due to its almost complete lack of stained glass and is famed for its acoustic quality. It rings out with its choral works, concerts and organ music and is regularly decked out with flowers.

The church building is always open and sees many visitors. It is a most wonderful place for private prayer - either within or without the church. Cyclists are often seen resting on our welcoming bench, embraced by the goodwill of centuries of gentle worship and the bird song of now. Our churchyard is serene and loved and welcoming.

St Ethelbert, Tannington

Welcome to St Ethelbert, Tannington, part of the Four Rivers Benefice, with Bedfield, Brundish, Cratfield, Laxfield, Monk Soham, Wilby and Worlingworth cum Southolt. For expected services and events, please see our news and notices and one off events pages.

St Ethelbert, Tannington is a beautiful, simple country church which, with a door that remains open 24 hours a day, provides a haven for quiet thought and prayer. Those who visit find an aura of deep peace. Among the many beautiful features of this historic rural church is a recently installed large stained-glass window in memory of Reginald Harvey, a churchwarden for many years and a benefactor.

The peal of six bells can be heard on summer evenings and for special services as we welcome bell ringers to practise, as well as attracting campanologists from near and far.

Monk Soham, St Peter

St. Peter's Church, Monk Soham is a traditional Anglican country church, which has a warm and friendly, but not imposing welcome to visitors and church regulars alike.

With our range of new and traditional services, many historic features, large well kept churchyard, with one of the best views in this part of Suffolk (looking from the churchyard on the south side); along with church and community fundraising activities that are based around the church, all help this church to serve with an active spiritual and physical presence within the community and the Four Rivers Benefice.

Feel free to come and visit the church, or even call in on a ramble and soak up the peaceful atmosphere whilst having your break / packed lunch on a nice summer day.
