St Mary's Church, Brentingby, Medieval church in Brentingby, England

The limestone tower of St Mary's Church rises in four stages with string courses and features ogee-headed lancet windows on multiple sides.

Built in 1301, St Mary's Church underwent substantial modifications in 1660, including the shortening of its east end and reconstruction of the nave windows.

The transformation of St Mary's Church from a religious building to a residential property reflects the changing patterns of rural community life in England.

While the main structure serves as a private residence, the tower remains under the protection of the Churches Conservation Trust for preservation purposes.

The tower maintains its original saddleback roof configuration with an octagonal spirelet, distinguishing it from other church towers in Leicestershire.
