Church Of St Mary The Virgin

The Church of St Mary the Virgin, located on the west side of Wansford Bridge End, is a Grade I listed building. It features a Saxon window at the west end of the nave, which has a south doorway dating from around 1200, characterized by two orders of shafts and a round arch. The nave is adorned with a parapet and rectangular clerestorey windows. There are 17th-century rectangular windows on the south side of the nave, which have labels and four-centred arch lights, along with a south porch that has a moulded round arch and impost, featuring a date of 1663 in a moulded panel above the arch.

The north aisle includes a lancet window at the west end. The chancel, built in 1902, has a five-light east window with reticulated tracery. The church's unbuttressed west tower, dating from the 13th century, has three stops, with lancets in the first and second stages, and two-light bell-openings separated by a shaft. The early 14th-century stone broach spire is topped with lucarnes and a dog tooth frieze.

Constructed from coursed stone with freestone dressings, the church has roofs made of lead and Collyweston stone. Inside, there is an early 15th-century two-bay north arcade featuring quatrefoil section piers and abaci with nailhead decoration, along with double-chamfered round arches. The roof is an early 20th-century addition, while the furnishings date from the 19th and 20th centuries.

Notably, there is a good Norman font from around 1120, originally found at Sibberton Lodge in Thornhaugh parish. This cylindrical bowl is decorated with vine scrolls above arcading, depicting scenes of baptism, two figures holding books, and knights in combat, all in relief, although the stem is modern. The pulpit and sedilia are adorned with Jacobean panels.
