Wangford is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Wangford with Henham, in the East Suffolk district, in the county of Suffolk, England, just off the A12 trunk road on the edge of the Henham Park estate just outside Southwold.
At the dissolution of the monasteries, Wangford Priory was granted to Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk.
Left derelict at the end of the 19th century, it was restored by the local Rous family, the Earls of Stradbroke who set about creating a monument to themselves here because there is no church in the parish of Henham.
Inside, the west end of the nave has a huge window, which may possibly be the rebuilding of a previous tower arch.
The pulpit is 17th century and was brought here from the chapel at Henham Hall along with the reading desk.
The bells hang in a derelict timber frame with dilapidated fittings and have not been rung for many years.
The treble (the smallest) is the oldest bell in the tower, being cast by William Brend of Norwich in 1624.
