Interior of St Mary Elms

The perpendicular nave and north aisle at The Elms have three bays, of which the most easterly is remodelled from the transept of the original Norman church. The chancel was added in 1883 by an architect named in the church guide as E.F. Bisshopp, of whom nothing is known. The interior was restored following the St James' Day fire of 25 July 2010, which sadly destroyed the stained glass in the tower window and the Royal Arms of Charles II. The restored shrine of TM1544 : Our Lady of Ipswich is in the niche on the south (right) side, in front of the pulpit.
