Church of St. Peter & St. Mary
The Parish Church of St. Peter and St. Mary is over 600 years old and the oldest building in Stowmarket.

The church of St. Peter originally had a small chapel dedicated to St. Mary in the south east corner of the churchyard. This chapel was demolished in 1544-45 and thus the Mother Church of St. Peter became known as the Church of St. Peter & St. Mary.

The Reverend Dr. Thomas Young (Tutor to the poet John Milton) was Vicar here from 1628 to 1655 and is buried in the centre aisle.
