The parish church of St Mary the Virgin at Waterperry is widely considered to be an architectural gem.
Nestling close to the manor house, the plain exterior - including an unusual wooden tower - belies the beauty and history inside - in fact few small churches can boast such a wonderful collection of ancient glass, brasses and monumental plaques.
Some of the many highlights include:-
- The original Saxon chancel arch
- Rare 12th Century floor tiles
- Three lancet windows containing glass dating back to 1220
- Jacobean memorial wall tablet
- 15th century brasses depicting ruling families of old
There's no charge for looking round our beautiful church, but donations towards the repair, restoration and upkeep would be very welcome.
