Best Practice - Framlingham St Michael

Framlingham is an historic market town, famous for its wealth of old buildings, the most splendid castle in the whole of East Anglia, and its magnificent church.

Framlingham Parochial Church Council offer conducted tours of the Church, which is a treasure house waiting to be explored. Guides will bring to life the history of the building itself and its various stages of construction over the past 600 years. Visitors will hear about the fascinating and risk laden lives of members of the Howard family through the Tudor period. The Howard tombs are magnificent.

Visitors will also see the major contribution to the Church by leading members of the Arts and Craft Movement.

There will be recordings of music played on the world famous Thamar organ.

The tours last approximately one hour at a cost of £2.50 per head and parties of between 10 and 40 are welcomed. Guides use a microphone for larger parties and there is a loop system.
