St Mary's, Stottesdon, in the Stottesdon Group of Churches
St Mary's is a surprisingly big church for quite a small village, and reflects the history of Stottesdon as being the centre of the Mediaeval Stottesdon Hundred. St Mary's is distinguished by its beautiful Hereford School carved stone font, and its pre-Norman tympanum. There are many other very lovely features, and a major restoration was completed last year (enabled by National Lottery Heritage funding). We have installed brand new heritage interpretation so that everyone can access and learn about this thousand-year old treasure at the heart of our community. Do come and see for yourselves!
