St, Mary the Virgin Church is unusual for a number of reasons - firstly there is a foundation, but no tower. In this case not because it collapsed, but because it never got built, falling foul of the reformation, the wealth of the parish was appropriated to the Crown, and East Bergholt's tower never got built.

Another unusual site is the bell cage - built as a temporary structure in 1531, it has withstood the test of time and it houses the heaviest peal of 5 in the world.

A distinctive landmark with its strange mix of assorted materials and partially ruined state.
