Church of St Mary and St Laurence, The Street, Great Bricett - Mid Suffolk
Formerly the monastic church of the Priory of St Leonard, founded 1114-19. The Prior's Lodgings and remains of the cloister also survive. The walls have much early, possibly original fabric with traces of medieval wallpaintings and decoration. Tiled roofs in poor condition and leaking. A first Heritage Lottery Fund Repair Grants for Places of Worship grant application was unsuccessful in 2015; a second application was submitted in 2017 and was successful. Project development work is currently in progress.
