St Peter by the Waterfront

St Peter's is mentioned in the Domesday Survey in 1086, suggesting that there was a church on this site then. The current building dates from the 15th century and was taken over by Cardinal Wolsey to become his College chapel and the parishioners had to either go to the neighbouring St Nicholas or St Mary Quay. Wolsey ordered several improvements to St Peter's but when he fell from grace the parishioners got their church back in 1537.

All Saints church is located in Ramsholt, a deserted village in Suffolk on the northern shores of the River Deben estuary. Today, only the church, a pub on the river and a farmouse remain. It is probably the most beautifully located of all Round Tower Churches.
