A striking 13th century church standing beside Berkeley Castle. The church is notable for its medieval wall paintings, detached tower, table tombs, and memorials to the Berkeley family.
There has been a church here as early as the Saxon period, but the present St Mary's dates primarily to the 13th and 14th centuries. The sheer size of the church is striking, situated as it is in such a small village. More unusual is the detatched tower, a feature more commonly found on the European continent but rarely in England. The tower is 17th century, and stands on the site of an earlier church.
