The Black Dog Deli near the top end of the main shopping street is a good option for a cafe stop, with plenty of space out front. Open 8am-4pm Mon-Sat.

The detached round tower of Bramfield St Andrew’s, built about 18 feet south-west of the Church, is unusual. It has very thick walls, possibly for stability as it has no nave to give support. It was probably built in the early 14th century, about the same time as the nave and chancel. It now has 15th century Tudor brick belfry openings and later brick repairs and battlements. There is also a brick-framed east doorway of three chamfered arches to provide access. More: https://www.roundtowerchurches.net/suffolk/suffolk-a-i/suffolk-bramfield/

The short tower has a band of eleven blank arches in the flint work in the second stage. These recesses are about 30 inches wide, 3-4 inches deep and the pilasters between are 12 inches wide. Within these arches are set three stone-framed round headed slit windows. They are not set centrally within the arches, but directly north, west and south of the tower. The double belfry openings, supported by a central stone pillar with a cushion capital, are set back beneath a larger super-arch. The jambs of these openings start with flints, but change to dressed stone. This is probably the level above which the top of the tower was extensively rebuilt in the 16th or 17th century, with brick work inside.
