The church is the earliest building in the park, with parts of the building dating back to the 13th century, and the only reminder of the earlier parish of Ickworth, which included a medieval manor house and village. Sadly the manor was demolished in 1710, whilst the church remained. It is located on an historic route and features in several key views and sight lines, including from the walled garden and canal towards the house.
In 2012-13, after six years of research and fundraising, the church was restored thanks to generous grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund, and other donors. Today, ICCT's main focus is to keep the church in good working order, and ensure it is open and can be enjoyed by the general public.
Ickworth Church offers a variety of events throughout the year, including Vault Tours, concerts and a Carol Service. To find out more and get the latest opening times, please visit their website.
