Description
The Church of St. Mary is a parish church located in Little Finborough, originally built in the medieval period with alterations made in 1856. The church consists of a nave and chancel, with a 19th and 20th-century vestry on the north side. It is constructed from flint rubble with freestone dressings, while the south side of the nave and part of the north are rendered. There is some remodelling in 16th-century brick on the north side. The roofs are made of concrete with plain tiles, and there is a 19th-century bellcote at the west gable, built from flint rubble and ashlar in the Decorated style.
Notable features include a mid-14th-century two-light window at the southwest corner, along with two other windows that were renewed in the 19th century. The east window, also from the 14th century, features intersecting tracery and was restored in the 19th century. There are two early 16th-century south chancel windows with square heads. The south doorway dates to the 14th century and has a segmental-pointed head, with shafted jambs that may be of earlier origin. The nave has a 17th-century butt-purlin roof, and above the rood beam is a coat of arms dated 1767. A thorough restoration, including interior refurbishing, was carried out in 1856.
