St Clement's Church
St Clement's Church, Star Lane, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP4 1JN
The main structure dates from the late 14th and early 15th centuries. It is the only church in Suffolk dedicated to St Clement of Rome.
The church is passed by many mostly driving past on Star Lane. The churchyard is a place of tranquillity, the north side is sheltered by magnificent mature trees and the south side is sunny and bright.
The anchor in the square opening on the west side of the tower is a symbol of the patron saint, and serves as a reminder that this was one of the mariners' parish churches. In front of the tower door on the west side is a memorial to Sir Thomas Slade who designed HMS Victory.
Free to access chance to wander around the church, to glance at its history and see the improvements that have been made to the building. Please come and learn about our future plans.
The building is looked after by The Ipswich Historic Churches Trust.
