# All Saints, Ringsfield

All Saints is a Grade II* thatched parish church on Church Road in Ringsfield, near Beccles, in the Hundred River and Wainford Benefice in the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich.

## Overview

The listing records a medieval church considerably rebuilt by William Butterfield in 1883–4. The fifteenth-century square unbuttressed west tower retains its two-light west window and Y-traceried belfry openings, with a seventeenth-century stepped red-brick parapet of flushwork and pierced obelisk pinnacles. Part of the nave is fifteenth-century; the east end and chancel are Butterfield’s. Flint rubble with stone dressings is plastered except on the tower and the crow-stepped brick south porch (probably late sixteenth century, much restored). The continuous roof is thatched.

Against the south chancel wall is a brick aedicule with a mermaid crest and an inscription to Nicholas Garneys (1628). On the north, a 1902 monument commemorates Princess Caroline Murat, great-niece of Napoleon. The interior has a fifteenth-century octagonal font, an early-seventeenth-century pulpit and screen, and a set of probably seventeenth-century nave benches.
