The church of St Peter and St Paul in Lavenham, Suffolk, England.

At 141 ft (43 m) high, the tower lays claim to being the tallest tower of a village church in Britain.

The church was built in the 15th and 16th in the Perpendicular style. Since its construction was funded from the wealth generated by the wool trade in the region. As such, and in common with many other churches in Suffolk, it is sometimes refered to as a 'wool church'.
