Church of St Mary the Virgin, Fawsley, Medieval parish church in Fawsley, England.

The Church of St Mary the Virgin features a stone exterior, medieval architecture, and a tower containing four bells cast in London around 1440.

Originally constructed in the 13th century, the church survived the demolition of Fawsley village during the Dissolution of the Monasteries due to its chantry land grant.

The church displays the Washington family coat of arms carved in 1720, connecting it to the lineage of President George Washington through Reverend Lawrence Washington.

Monthly services occur on the second Sunday, with additional services scheduled during months containing five Sundays and special occasions like Remembrance Day.

The church tower houses England's oldest complete set of four bells from a single foundry, all cast by W Chamberlain of London in the 1440s.
