The Church of St Mary the Virgin is a Church of England parish church in Huntingfield, Suffolk. The church is a grade I listed building. It is noted for its highly decorated ceiling.
The church dates to the Medieval period. The nave contains a 12th-century window opening. The chancel dates to the 13th or 14th century. The tower dates to the 15th century. [1]
The arched nave ceiling is highly decorated with paintings. [1] It was painted by Mildred Holland during the 19th century when her husband, William Holland, was the church's rector. [2] Norman Scarfe notes that "between 1859 and 1882 that over £2,000 was spent on the church". [2] The church was altered during the Victorian restoration in 1858 to 1859 and in 1896 to 1906. [1]
On 7 December 1966, the church was designated a grade I listed building. [1]
St Mary's is part of the Benefice of Heveningham with Ubbeston, Huntingfield and Cookley in the Archdeaconry of Suffolk of the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich. [3] The church stands in the Central tradition of the Church of England. [3]
As the parish rejects the ordination of women, it receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Richborough (currently Norman Banks). [4]
