Plan your visitAbout the Church
A small Suffolk church of exceptional age, character and beauty
Historic record, fully restored
Tucked down a narrow lane north of Haverhill, All Saints sits across a bridge on the way to Bradley Hall, its setting largely unchanged for a thousand years.
The nave fabric is Anglo-Saxon in origin, a rare continuous thread to the earliest days of English Christianity. The church is one of only 38 surviving round-tower churches in Suffolk, with an ornate octagonal bell stage added in the late 15th century.
Today All Saints is part of the Stourhead Benefice, a community of eight churches in rural West Suffolk, and remains a living Church of England parish church, open and welcoming to all.

What to Look For
Five details that tell the story of All Saints
A visit rewards slow looking: the building, memorials and setting all carry traces of the parish's long history.
John Daye brass
Look in the chancel for the brass memorial to John Daye, the Elizabethan printer associated with Foxe's Book of Martyrs.
Saxon nave fabric
The nave preserves an early thread in the building's story, with fabric associated with the 11th-century origins of All Saints.
Round tower and belfry
The round tower is one of the church's defining features, rising to an octagonal belfry stage added in the late medieval period.
Le Hunt monuments
The Le Hunt family, long connected with Bradley Hall, are remembered through monuments and brasses in the chancel.
Rural setting
The church sits in a quiet rural setting near Bradley Hall, reached by a narrow lane north of Haverhill.
A Thousand Years of History
Where the Reformation was printed into being
The chancel of All Saints holds one of the most remarkable collections of memorials in West Suffolk. Among them is a brass monument to John Daye, one of the most important figures of the English Reformation.
It was Daye who printed Foxe's Book of Martyrs in 1563, a work placed in every parish church alongside the Bible, reshaping how a nation understood its faith.
John Daye, Printer (d. 1584)
Elizabethan printer of Foxe's Book of Martyrs. His brass memorial remains in the chancel.
The Le Hunt Family
Lords of Bradley Hall for generations, remembered through mural monuments and brasses in the chancel.
Domesday & Before
Bradley is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086; nearby earthworks speak to the older settlement pattern.
