	Suffolk Churches: my Top Sixty

home index what's new? e-mail	www.suffolkchurches.co.uk - a journey through the churches of Suffolk

There are about six hundred churches of any significance in Suffolk, including all of those built before about 1840, and so it is a difficult thing to reduce them to a Top 60. Over the last twenty-five years or so I have visited every one of those Suffolk churches at least twice, in most cases more. There is so much to take into account - the architecture, the setting, the furnishings, the atmosphere, the historical survivals, and most of all the 'wow-factor'. As of September 2024 these are my Top 60 Suffolk churches in order, but like all things this is subject to change.
