St Mary's Church, Hinckley, Medieval parish church in Hinckley, England.
This stone church features a rectangular layout stretching 38.4 meters in length, with a massive fourteenth-century tower containing 1.7-meter-thick walls.
The building's origins trace back to William FitzOsbern who constructed it after arriving with William the Conqueror in 1066, incorporating an Anglo-Saxon sundial.
The interior houses Victorian choir stalls, a 1905 rood screen commemorating Queen Victoria, and stained glass windows depicting religious narratives.
The church opens daily from Monday to Saturday between 10 AM and 1 PM, offering a coffee bar, book stall, and Fairtrade products.
Five bells cast in the early 1600s remain active in the tower, complemented by a clock from 1876 that plays Westminster Quarters.
