St Mary's Church, Brent Eleigh, Medieval church in Brent Eleigh, England

The church features three wall paintings on its east wall, created between 1275 and 1325, representing different religious figures and scenes.

Built around 1250, St Mary's Church received its Grade I listing status due to its architectural elements and medieval structural preservation.

The church contains Stuart period box pews installed above medieval seating arrangements, demonstrating the evolution of worship practices through centuries.

Visitors can access the church daily from 10am to 4pm, with religious services occurring every five weeks and guided tours available upon request.

The medieval wall paintings remained concealed behind paneling until their discovery in the 1960s, with similar artwork found only in Westminster Abbey.
