Woolpit St Mary Church is presumed to have been built on the site of an earlier church built before the Norman Conquest. The church and Manor of Woolpit were given by Ulfcytel, Earl of East Anglia, to the Abbey of St Edmund in 1005. A more substantial building was constructed in 1087. Much of the present ediface, shown in this drawing, dates from the 14th century.
