St Mary
Great Bealings, Suffolk
Little Bealings is a small and endearing building in an idyllic setting, which serves a small but picturesque parish about three miles from Woodbridge and five miles northeast of Ipswich.
Little Bealings, Suffolk
The village itself is beautifully set in the pretty Fynn valley and is therefore low lying; a tranquil and charming corner of Suffolk, with a variety of picturesque houses and cottages, also plenty of trees. The church stands a little way up the northern slope of the valley, slightly above most of the houses of the village and just above the 50 foot contour line. From the southern approach to the village, its little tower may be seen, although it is somewhat dwarfed by the trees which surround it.
As with all medieval churches, All Saints contains work from a variety of periods, as people from different ages and religious traditions have altered and beautified it. There is a detailed description on our website.

Woodbridge, Suffolk
The present building, funded by rich merchants, was begun around 1400 when Woodbridge was an extremely prosperous port, and despite many changes over the years, we can still rejoice in the beauty and fine craftsmanship visible today.
