Church of St Mary Magdalene, Medieval Anglican church in Tanworth-in-Arden, England.
The Church of St Mary Magdalene features a prominent west tower with a spire, a chancel, and a nave with a wide north aisle.
The structure originated in the 13th century as a chapel, with major transformations occurring in 1790 when the arcade between nave and north aisle was removed.
The churchyard contains the graves of singer Nick Drake and racing driver Mike Hailwood, making it a place of both religious and cultural significance.
The church maintains regular services, including Sunday Holy Communion, and hosts community events throughout the year in the heart of Tanworth-in-Arden.
The church tower's spire underwent an unusual modification in 1720 when it was extended by precisely six feet, altering its architectural profile.
