Beautiful little church with very friendly and amicable residents in the rectory. I have a big van and asked their permission to park there so I could hike Burrow. No problem and had a good chat with them after.

This lovely Grade I-listed Anglican church lies in the pretty Shropshire village of Hopesay. Built at the beginning of the 13th century, a notable addition is the tower's 17th-century pyramidal roof. Both its age and slightly unusual architecture make it a lovely stop off on hikes in the area. The Shropshire Way long-distance footpath goes right past the church.

St Mary's was built in about 1200. There were later additions and alterations, including adding the double-pyramidal roof to the tower in the 17th century. The chancel was restored by William Butterfield in 1886.
