Churches (83) : St Mary, Atherstone

The parish church of St Mary in the Warwickshire town of Atherstone has it's origin in a 12th century chapel. The chapel was, by the 16th century, neglected but had a revival in the following centuries and some quite extensive rebuilding. The tower was rebuilt in the late 1700s as an octagon. The church was rebuilt in 1849 when the current nave and North and South aisles were built.

The church also has a chancel and North and South transepts.
