The parish church of the Assumption of St Mary in the Leicestershire town of Hinckley dates from at least the 13th century, a beam has been found marked 1246, though was probably built on the site of a Saxon church. The West tower dates from the 14th century, the clerestory probably from the 15th.
The church was restored in the late 1870s, the North and South aisles and the transepts were demolished during this work, an 18th century gallery was also demolished. The church is built from freestone coursed blocks and rock faced ashlar.
