[2] The church stands in the centre of the town on St Mary's Street, the A144 road.

[4] In 1577 the church was struck by lightning, and this event led to the "Legend of the Black Dog".

[9] The tower stands at the west end of the south aisle,[7] and it is surmounted by four tall crocketted pinnacles.

The bosses in the roof are carved with a variety of objects, including angels, a lion, two-headed eagles, and a bat.

[2] The two-manual organ was made by E. W. Norman, and was moved to the church from Rose Hall, Bungay.

During the thunderstorm an apparition appeared, consisting of a black Hell Hound which dashed around the church, attacking members of the congregation.

It then suddenly disappeared and re-appeared in Holy Trinity Church, Blythburgh 12 miles (19 km) away, injuring members of the congregation there.
