Barnardiston: All Saints A small and pleasing Grade II* listed mediaeval church. The south wall of the chancel shows how necessary the substantial buttresses are. Norman Scarfe (in the Shell Guide) and Nikolaus Pevsner had more to say about the interior than the external fabric.

St Peter and St Paul Kedington The church of St Peter and St Paul Kedington is special in that it was virtually untouched by the Victorians (apart from the skylights in the nave) and stuffed full of fantastic monuments to the Barnardistons who were Lords of the Manor from 13th century until 1745 (and have caused this church to be known as the Westminster Abbey of Suffolk).
