St Mary's Church, Hemel Hempstead, Norman parish church in Hemel Hempstead, England
The cruciform structure features a 200-foot spire rising above the tower, built with local clunch stone, flint, and Roman bricks throughout its walls.
Construction of St Mary's Church began in 1140, with the chancel completed first, followed by additional sections over the next thirty years.
The church maintains a collection of eight bells, installed between 1590 and 1767, which ring during services, celebrations, and practice sessions.
Visitors can access the church daily from 9 AM to 5 PM to explore its Norman architecture and historical features including the original font.
The tower contains a specialized door at its base that allowed medieval monks direct access while maintaining separation from the general population.
