Red area churches
In the far north west of Suffolk, the red area stretches into the Brecks with its strange and beautiful landscape of forest, ancient heath and lines of twisted scotch pines. Further east is the historic market town of Bury St Edmunds and the magnificent St Edmundsbury Cathedral.
Icklingham All Saints
Now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust, the church is of Norman origin and largely rebuilt in the 14th century, a time of great prosperity in the region. Since it has not been used as a parish church for over 100 years, it remains one of the best examples of a relatively untouched Suffolk church, and a treasure house of craftsmanship in local materials.

Barton Mills St Mary IP28 6AR
The village of Barton Mills is on the south bank of the River Lark near the Suffolk/Norfolk border and the church, over 800 years old, is beautifully maintained. Before going inside, wander round the churchyard and spot the headstops that finish off door and window arches — human ones on the south side and animals on the north.
