Description
The Church of St Mary is a Grade I listed building located about 500 meters south of Chilton Hall, surrounded entirely by agricultural land. It is believed that a village once existed near the church, which was cleared to create a deer park for Chilton Hall. The church dates from the 15th century and is constructed of flint, featuring embattled parapets on both the nave and chancel. The west tower, built in the 16th century, is made of red brick and includes an embattled parapet, corner crocketted pinnacles, and heavy angle buttresses. A plain flint porch with a moulded brick parapet extends from the south side.
On the north side, adjacent to the chancel, is the Crane Chapel, which contains two table tombs: one dedicated to George Crane, who died in 1491, and another to Robert Crane and his wife, who died in 1500. Additionally, there is a wall monument to Sir Robert Crane, who died in 1643, along with his two wives, which was carved in 1626 by Gerard Christmas. The church is recognized for its architectural and historical significance.
