St Mary's Church, Disley, Anglican parish church in Disley, England

The church building stands on a hill with a four-stage tower featuring angle buttresses, castellated parapet, and clerestory windows along the nave.

Originally constructed between 1527 and 1558 as a chantry chapel for Sir Piers Legh, the structure received additional aisles in 1828 by architect Thomas Lee.

The interior contains memorials dedicated to the Legh family of Lyme Park and houses an organ case created by Samuel Renn in the 19th century.

The church maintains regular services and community events, with access through a timber-framed lychgate constructed in 1891 on a sandstone base.

The churchyard reveals a rectangular stone slab with two circular holes, discovered in 1958, indicating the presence of ancient Anglo-Saxon crosses.
