The church has a prominent place in our history and 1852 saw the arrival of Ezekiel Sparke who instigated and partly funded the massive church alterations of 1876 when the whole building was re-roofed. Although highly praised at the time it was described more recently by Norman Scarfe in his book 'Suffolk a Shell Guide' as "An almost fatal attack of Victorian Restoration”

In 1817 CJ Bloomfield was rector and after becoming Bishop of Chester in 1824 he eventually went on to become Bishop of  'The greatest city in the Empire', i.e. London itself. Our last resident vicar was Rev. Wing On Pang a Chinese, when he left the vicarage was sold and we now share a cleric with other parishes.
