St Mary the Virgin's Church, North Stoke, Medieval church in North Stoke, England

The Church of St Mary the Virgin features Norman architecture with a cruciform design, tall nave, and single windows on each side of the structure.

Built in 1001, the church underwent modifications in 1290 to include north and south transepts, though planned tower construction never materialized.

The interior walls contain fourteenth-century paintings depicting flowers, leaves, and scrolls, while early stained glass windows showcase figures of Virgin Mary and King David.

Located on Church Lane in North Stoke, the building opens daily for visitors, with Amberley railway station situated one mile from the church.

A medieval mass dial carved on the south wall served as a timekeeping device for religious services before the widespread use of mechanical clocks.
