The most famous event connected with St Mary's church is the apparition of the devil in the disguise of a Black Dog in 1577. During a storm on Sunday, August 4th, a terrifying thunderstorm occurred with such - 'darkness, rain, hail, thunder and lightning as was never seen the like'.

Storms were always greatly feared during a period when most houses were built of timber and thatch and a lightening strike could quickly set large areas of a town ablaze.

As the people knelt in fear, praying for mercy, suddenly there appeared in their midst a great black Hell Hound. It began tearing around the Church, attacking many of the congregation with its cruel teeth and claws.

As the people knelt in fear, praying for mercy, suddenly there appeared in their midst a great black Hell Hound. It began tearing around the Church, attacking many of the congregation with its cruel teeth and claws

Then as suddenly as it had appeared, it ran off, departing for Blythburgh Church about twelve miles away where it killed and mauled more people. Bungay Church was damaged, the tower struck by lightening and the Church clock was broken in pieces. Although there is no official record of injuries caused, the Churchwardens account book mentions that two men in the belfry were killed. Nowadays we would attribute the whole event to the Church having been struck by lightning but, in that superstitious age, many accidents and disasters were considered to be the work of the Devil. There had long been a belief that a Satanic black hound roamed the area and so it was easy to believe for people in the dark interior of the Church, that this evil beast was responsible for the catastrophe. The Black Dog is sometimes associated with Black Shuck, another spectral hound which haunts the Norfolk and Suffolk coasts. Many people still claim to see these beasts today and a sighting usually results in death or disaster of some kind.

Dogs are said to be man's best friend and most people find it true,

however 'cat people' think different and I think that is the reason the two

creatures fight! Some humans believe that dogs and cats fight because of an

Egyptian Myth where the dogs save the humans from the cats, whom had taken

over! Others believe they just like each other, like humans and that they also try to protect themselves.

Dogs sometimes think that the cats would be fun to chase meaning they follow their

hunting instinct, cats move quickly making them fun to chase! If a dog stays still the cat gets curious ... he tries to approach the dog .. the first thing a cat does, when facing an unknown object or animal, is to test him. This cat's test is usually done with the paw, beating against the unknown thing... usually the dog sees this as an attack ... and riot starts! Other times they are trying to protect their territory, and sometimes they get along just fine there really is no reasoning to this!
