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.
