St Mary's Church, Wingham, Medieval parish church in Wingham, England

The church features a west tower with a recessed spire reaching 63 feet, containing Norman masonry and geometric Gothic windows throughout the structure.

Archbishop John Peckham established the church around 1280, founding a college of priests with a provost and six canons that operated until 1548.

The church interior holds ten 14th-century misericords decorated with animal carvings and figures, including representations of the Green Man motif.

Visitors can access St Mary's Church through Canterbury Road in central Wingham, with free parking spaces available near the building.

The south porch, added circa 1400, presents two stories when viewed from outside but maintains a single story within the interior space.
