    Tips

    St Mary’s is a striking parish church in the centre of Luton. The Grade I-listed structure predominantly dates to the 14th and 15th centuries but some earlier building work survives. The 15th-century Wenlock Chapel contains several monuments, brasses and tombs for members of Wenlock and Rotheram family.

      St. Mary’s Church has a rich and long history, being almost 900 years old. It has been rebuilt and refurbished constantly over the centuries. The Church is one of the largest in Bedfordshire and considered a fine example of medieval architecture. It is the only Grade 1 listed building in Luton.

      The site of St. Mary’s has been the centre of worship for people in the area for over 1,000 years, and a church was built in about 930 AD by King Athelstan as an act of thanksgiving for victory over the Danes. The land here was owned by the king in Saxon and early Norman times and the church was very richly endowed.
