Borley Church throws open its doors over the weekend for visitors to explore the history and architecture of this ancient building. Guided tours will run throughout the weekend. Refreshments will be available.

Borley's delightful parish church is a Grade 1 listed building dating back to the the 11th century and its hilltop location has sweeping views across the countryside towards Long Melford, Liston and Lavenham. Knowledgeable local residents will give guided talks about this ancient place of worship which features much living history and beautiful craftsmanship. From the imposing Waldegrave tomb to the simple mensa slab of the altar, there are many features to discover and enjoy.

Borley is still a place of active worship with communion services on the first Sunday of the month at 11.15am. Special events are also held from time to time. These events not only raise much needed funds for the running costs of the building, but also welcome a diverse range of visitors to this beautifully maintained and active church.
