All Saints Church, Chedburgh is a Grade II* listed building. It is a medieval church, which was subject to major alterations in the nineteenth century. In 1842 the gault brick tower was built with rendered Gothic style openings, a brick spire and crenellated parapets; the chancel was almost completely reconstructed including a mid fourteenth century style window on the eastern side, a roof with ribbed panels in the ceiling a gabled vestry and moulded cornices.[3] Lord Arthur Hervey, president of the Bury and West Suffolk Archaeological Institute was vicar here from 1832 to 1856.[4]
