Church of St Mary, Witham Friary, Medieval church in Witham Friary, England.
The Church of St Mary features a three-bay nave and apsidal chancel constructed with limestone rubble, supported by four massive flying buttresses on each side.
Founded in 1200 as part of Witham Charterhouse, the church underwent modifications in 1828 and received an extension by William White in 1875.
Inside the church, visitors can find an octagonal font from 1450, a Jacobean pulpit containing medieval elements, and royal arms dating from 1660.
The Grade I listed building continues to function as an active religious center within the Anglican Diocese of Bath and Wells.
The stained glass windows incorporate fragments of medieval glass, with the southern windows crafted by Sir Ninian Comper.
