This 16th-century bell tower stands 97 feet tall, its red brick façade adorned with intricate stone carvings and ornate clock faces. The tower's unique blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles is a testament to its rich history, while its prominent location in the market square makes it a focal point of the town. Visitors can climb the 138 steps to the top for panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
120 steps to the top. PS4 entry. Excellent views across Beccles to Norfolk on a clear day.
It costs PS2.50 per adult to go up, its owned by the people of Beccles according to the guide which is why it is open. The bells if in need of repairing, get lowered down through bit trap doors in the floor and ceilings. Last time this was done was is 2012, according to the guide, 10 bells in total, which the church manage. Lovely climb up to the top, its quite a few floors up so pace yourself, it gets more and more narrow up at the top and the view from above is wonderful. I had a fantastic visit and the guide on the roof has lots of interesting info and facts about the tower.
Lovely view from the top. PS2.50 each. Dogs are easier to get up the stairs than down.
Today (30th Oct)is the last day of open in this season. The view from the top of the tower was spectacular. Lovely friendly staff guided us. They made our day so special. Thank you very much. We'll visit again next season. Highly recommend for tourists who visit Beccles.
Lovely view from the top of the tower. The tower and church are well worth a visit. There are 10 bells which can be seen as you climb the stairs to the top. Be aware the stairs are narrow and steep. There are resting points on the way up.
Great place to visit, ideal for the whole family, and such great views
Good for kids
