}}Stowlangtoft is a village and civil parish in the Mid Suffolk district of Suffolk in eastern England two miles south-east from Ixworth. Located around five miles north-east of Bury St Edmunds, in 2005 its population was 270.[1]

Name

The village, originally just Stow, was held by the de Languetot family in the early 13th century.[3]

St George's

For all of Stowlangtoft's small size, St George's is within the group classed as "Great Churches". The church was built as a single construction project in the late 14th century and barely changed until the restoration work undertaken in the 19th century. The church is in the decorated and later English styles; the chancel contains several richly-carved stalls and monuments to members of the family of D'Ewes.[4] The church and parsonage-house are located on what was once the site of a Roman encampment.[4] Sir Symonds D'Ewes, Bart., the eminent antiquary, lived in the Hall.[4] Peter Tillemans, one of the founders of the English school of sporting painting, was buried in St George's on 7 December 1734.[5]

At some point after the Dissolution of the monasteries, St George's acquired six 14th-century misericords. It is not clear where these misericords originated, but possible candidates are Thetford Priory or Bury Abbey.[6]

Horror tree

In the grounds of Stowlangtoft Hall, there is a gruesome-looking tree attracting many visitors  .
