St Mary's Church, Medieval church in Scarborough, England
St Mary's Church stands near Scarborough Castle, featuring a square tower at the east end and stone vaulted side chapels along its southern side.
The church endured substantial damage during the English Civil War when Parliamentary forces used it as a base to attack Scarborough Castle in the 1640s.
The churchyard contains the grave of novelist Anne Bronte, who selected Scarborough as her final resting place due to her connection with the seaside town.
The central tower clock, installed in 1856, remains visible throughout the Old Town area and continues to mark time for local residents.
Eight bells from the church and two additional bells from the demolished Christ Church create a complete peal in the bell tower since 1979.
