The Church of St Mary the Virgin, Shipley, Medieval church in Shipley, England
The sandstone church features an axial tower with three-meter-thick walls, a nave, a north aisle, a vestry, and a south porch.
The Knights Templar constructed this Grade I listed structure in 1150, after Philip de Harcourt, Dean of Lincoln, granted them the land in 1139.
The church maintains regular services including Holy Communion and Evensong, with an active choir and bell-ringing team performing throughout the year.
Located at Red Lane, Shipley, RH13 8PH, the church offers parking along the street and holds mid-week Eucharist services every Wednesday at 10:30 AM.
The churchyard contains the grave of composer John Ireland, marked by two prehistoric sarsen stones, and features a medieval bollard from a former river dock.
