St Mary-Le-Tower is both a parish church with a thriving congregation of people of all ages, and the Civic Church for the town of Ipswich. Its fascinating history and its location in the heart of the town draws large numbers of visitors.

Our congregation is drawn from all around the Ipswich area, coming from a wide variety of backgrounds and religious perspectives, ranging from Evangelicalism through to Anglo- Catholicism. We emphasise living out the Christian faith with tolerance and respect for our neighbour and affirm the Anglican principles of Scripture, Tradition and Reason.
