[edit] Churches
One night in late 1944, a German V2 rocket hit the small Hakewill's church in Chelmondiston. The little church was almost completely destroyed. In 1951, Basil Hatcher was commissioned to provide a replacement, St. Andrew's Church. It includes a set of stained glass windows made by Francis Skeat in the 1960s.[1]
There is a newer Methodist church on the Main Road and a Baptist church on Pin Mill Road.
