St Mary's Parish Church, Woodbridge
The present church, dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, dates from the beginning of the fifteenth century but The Domesday Book records in that in "Wodebryge" there was "A church with 19 acres valued at 2 shillings". The indications are that this was a Saxon church, built probably at the close of the tenth century, so that there has been a church on this site for nearly a thousand years.
