St. Mary at the Quay
45 Foundation St Ipswich
The church, which is cared for by The Churches Conservation Trust, was until June 2020 under the tenancy of Suffolk Mind. Due to the impact of the Coronavirus lockdown, the decision was made by Suffolk Mind not to reopen. River Church have reopened the Church with community and wellbeing at the heart of their vision and the church is available for hire and community.
This medieval church lies next to Ipswich's regenerated quayside. It was built, or perhaps rebuilt, between 1450 and 1550. Elegant Perpendicular windows bathe the interior - and its handsome arcades - with light. The wonderful Medieval double hammerbeam roof in the nave (one of the earliest of its type) has carved figures of apostles, other worthies and less formal images in the spandrels. There is also a handsome octagonal fifteenth-century font
