Saint Mary at the Elms Church

Had a Christmas Tree at their event would recommend going along and seeing them all when it is near Christmas.

Peaceful oasis in the centre of Ipswich. Beautiful worship offered on the day I visited.

Very pretty little church, held Maryomarna rededication of Our Lady, deanery service, last Saturday.

St Mary at the Elms is a Grade ll listed building beinging late C11 or early C12 in origin. The main entrance door in the South porch is late C11 or early C12 and is the oldest door in Suffolk and 3rd oldest in the UK.There was a church dedicated to St Saviour near this site in the C11. St Mary at the Elms (to distinguish it from the other St Marys in the town) was first mentioned in 1204, when both it and St Saviour's were listed among the possessions of the Augustinian priory of Holy Trinity, Ipswich. However, St Saviour's disappeared some time thereafter, probably before the end of the C13. The present church building was probably in existence by the early C12, the date of the South door, and was definitely known as St Mary at the Elms by the C14.The church is open daily for private prayer.

One of the twelve medieval churches in Ipswich. This one is a grade II listed building. It is a quiet church nestled in its surroundings but nevertheless beautiful and worth a look.

Beautiful little church

Beautiful church and looks more amazing at night when lights on.

Anglo-Catholic and the reverence for what is taking place at Mass is reflected accordingly. Thanks to all concerned
