Lavenham Church

We are open daily. Come and visit us for prayer and reflection

Welcome to the website of St Peter & St Paul Church, Lavenham and Preston St Mary. 

Welcome to St Peter & St Paul’s church Lavenham and St Mary’s Preston. We are a united benefice located in beautiful rural Suffolk, 12 miles south of Bury St Edmunds. Lavenham is a well preserved medieval village with stunning timber framed houses. The church, dedicated to St Peter & St Paul, is nationally celebrated for its architecture and its history.

Preston is a delightful village with some equally beautiful houses, and its medieval church, dedicated to Mary, mother of Our Lord.

Our churches are open every day during daylight hours.

We welcome everyone to our services. We offer a mix of worship in the central Anglican tradition, with hymns and organ music on Sunday, and a quieter more reflective service on Wednesdays. Please see the Worship page for full details.

By this everyone will know that

you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.’

John 13 v35
