The townscape is dominated by the detached 16th century bell tower (known as the Beccles bell tower) of St Michael's Church.
Like the main body of the church, the tower is Perpendicular Gothic in style and is 97 ft tall.
The interior of the church was badly damaged by fire in 1586.
It has a 13th-century font.

The tower is not attached to the church and at the wrong end of the church as the correct end would be too close to a large cliff.

It was at this church in 1749 that the mother of Horatio Nelson, Catherine Suckling, married the Reverend Edmund Nelson (a former curate of Beccles).
The Suffolk poet George Crabbe married Sarah Elmy at Beccles Church in the 18th century.
