Largely demolished 500 years ago, the ruins of St Mary’s Church are slightly eerie in their field position. The ruins that remain are two parts of the dove tower and you can make out the cylindrical shape. Who knows what the church itself looked like, that has long disappeared into history.

The church likely dates back to at least 1066 as the village of Thorpe Parva features in the Domesday Book and this is one of its remains.

Less than half of the round tower of the former church of Thorpe Parva still stands in the middle of a field, with its two parts reaching to the sky, the belfry and the eastern half being completely missing. The west side has a wide split down it. The flint work is reasonably well coursed, mostly whole flints, and there are brick-lined put-log holes (for the horizontal scaffolding poles). The tower of this deserted village only survived by being converted into a dove-cote. This may account for the round holes on the north and south faces.
