Church of St Mary, Grade I listed parish church in Banbury, England
The Church of St Mary stands as the largest parish church built in England during the 18th century, with a central 90-foot square auditorium.
The current structure, designed by Samuel Pepys Cockerell, replaced a medieval building and was consecrated in September 1797 following construction in the 1790s.
The interior features Early Christian-inspired designs, including representations of the twelve apostles and Christ in Majesty within the chancel's faux-mosaic decoration.
The church maintains an adjacent community center, established in the 1980s, providing meeting rooms and parish offices for various community activities.
The church contains one of only 84 Lamps of Brotherhood created after World War II, symbolizing international reconciliation.
