Church of St. Mary, Ecclesfield, Medieval parish church in Ecclesfield, England
The Church of St. Mary features a substantial stone structure with an octagonal font, a bell tower containing ten bells, and a decorated pulpit from 1876.
Founded in 1101, the church served as one of the largest parishes in England, covering 64 square miles and extending toward the Cheshire border during medieval times.
The church maintains a rich musical tradition with a robed choir, pipe organ, and music group that performs during regular Sunday services and festival celebrations.
Recent improvements include a new roof, sound system, meeting rooms, disabled access toilets, baby changing facilities, and a modernized kitchen for community gatherings.
The church houses a rare carved Anglo-Saxon cross shaft from the early 11th century, discovered buried outside the west door in 1892.
