St Michael’s Church

Created, adorned and refined by craftsmen since the 12th century this mighty Grade 1 listed medieval masterpiece may look conventionally ‘Suffolk Perpendicular’ from the outside, but inside its wealth of treasures and noble connections show English history through a thousand years. From early wall paintings and a rare organ to magnificent tombs of Tudor ‘almost kings’ and castle lords, Framlingham’s parish church has so much to share.
