This large and beautiful church holds a dominant position in the town. It portrays the importance of Clare in the Middle Ages. Look for the heraldic glass in the east window - all that remains after Dowsing's iconoclastic visit in 1643. The chantry screen, the gallery in the south aisle and the ringers' 'gotch' are of interest. The ring of eight bells is the heaviest in Suffolk.
The church is open for visitors every day and there is a well-stocked shop and bookstall.
