The church is a Grade II* listed building. This work was part of the spread of the Anglo-Catholicism style of church refurbishment and includes a number of pieces of work by Comper, including the font cover. The church was restored during the 19th century and was then refurbished by Ninian Comper in the early years of the 20th century. It is one of around 40 round-tower churches in Suffolk, the tower having been rebuilt in the 15th century. The church is medieval in origin, with 12th- and 13th-century stonework surviving and a 14th-century baptismal font with an elaborate gilded font cover. The parish church is dedicated to St John the Baptist. This was closed in 2011 as part of reorganisation of schools in Suffolk by Suffolk County Council and became part of the campus of Lowestoft College. The former Lothingland Middle School was located in the parish. The village has a number of basic services, including a village hall, cafe and a public house, the Village Maid. A number of anti-aircraft batteries also operated in the parish. ĭuring World War II the parish was the site of a Starfish site, a bombing decoy designed to draw enemy bombers away from Great Yarmouth. The engine house is a scheduled monument. The engine house at the site houses a pair of Easton and Amos Grasshopper beam engines, the only two known to be in their original position. The works were built to supply Lowestoft with its drinking water and the lakes continue to be used for water supply purposes today. Lound Lakes, on the northern border of the parish, has been used for water supply since a waterworks was first established on the site in 1854. It has since been converted into a private residence. It was a four-storey tower mill and operated until 1939.
