Description

The Parish Church of St Mary is a Grade II listed building located in Humberstone. The church features a 14th-century west tower, which is designed in four stages and includes angle buttresses, a quatrefoil frieze, and a short broach spire. The chancel retains medieval masonry, while the nave and both the north and south sides were rebuilt in an early 15th-century style by architect Raphael Brandon in 1858. The west tower also contains some moulded effigies, incised stones, and a monument to Richard Hotoft, which features an incised slab of a knight on a tomb-chest, dating from 1451.
