St. Mary The Virgin	East Bergholt	East Bergholt
The Church of St. Mary the Virgin in East Bergholt was built in the 15th and 16th centuries. It is well known for having no tower or spire to house the bells. Work had begun on a tower in 1525, but Cardinal Wolsey's fall from grace in 1530 stopped the construction. In 1531 a temporary wooden bellcage was erected in the churchyard for the bells, and this temporary structure still exists some 500 years later. The Church was the subject of much work by East Bergholt's famous son, John Constable.
