At the heart of Ipswich
we warmly welcome you to Ipswich Minster
Who we are
St Mary-le-Tower has been at the heart of Ipswich for more than a thousand years, and since 1200 has been its Civic Church. It has long been a beacon of faith, hope, and love for its town and parish.
Re-designated as Ipswich Minster in January 2025, our thriving community has embraced a new chapter with renewed spirit and passion. Rooted in our centuries-old mission to love and serve God through love and service of Ipswich and its people, we seek to inspire the renewal of Christian life and the flourishing of all.
