Interior of SS Peter & Mary's Church looking west
Looking from the chancel into the nave. Anne Riches, in her 1982 supplement to Munro Cautley's guide to Suffolk Churches, notes that "even contemporaries found little to recommend in R.M. Phipson's restorations of 1864-65. It would seem to be an example of attempting to go back to the original state, sweeping away important later work and inevitably relying on speculation." Richard Makilwaine Phipson was the Norwich Diocesan architect.
The walls were repainted in 2016 to create a lighter interior. Most of the building is in the Decorated style of the 14th century, but the south arcade was remodelled in the later Perpendicular style - compare the details of the piers with the north arcade, seen in
