1875 was a year of great change for the LADY CHAPEL was also added then. It bears the funeral hatchment of the first wife of Thomas Mills, and a memorial to Tobias Rustat, rector for 45 years who laid out the old rectory gardens (now Stutton House) with many fine specimens of trees. A recently discovered portrait of him by Thomas Gainsborough is now in Gainsborough House Museum, Sudbury.

The east window depicting the Crucifixion was given in 1847 and was originally the main east window. Most of the glass was renewed following bomb damage but the brilliance of the original can be seen in the top lights.

The Lady Chapel was refurbished in 1975 and divided from the main church, along with the transept, by the windowed panelling in 1988. This was the work of a local man, Fred Nickson.
