About Us
The earliest surviving parts of the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary are the Norman font and the ground stage of the west tower, which was built around 1200.
By 1741 the medieval building was in ruins, and in 1743/44 all but the thirteenth-century bell tower was rebuilt by Norreys Bertie, Lord of the Manor. The Bertie family lived in Weston Manor, which is now a hotel.
The replacement is a characteristically box-like Georgian church, with what were originally plain round-arched windows on the north and south sides. The Georgian building had an ornate plaster ceiling, but this collapsed in 1810. The surviving ornate Georgian surroundings of the south door are of a very high quality.
