Parish Church of St Mary and St Giles, Grade II* listed church building in Stony Stratford, England
The Parish Church of St Mary and St Giles features a 15th-century tower with a nave supported by slender fluted columns and a vaulted ceiling with plaster ribbed groins.
The church experienced a devastating fire in 1742 that destroyed most of the structure except the tower, leading to its reconstruction and completion in 1777 by architect Francis Hiorne.
The merger of two parishes in 1968 resulted in the reconsecration of St Giles as the joint church of St Mary and St Giles, marking a significant change in local religious organization.
The church welcomes visitors with accessible entry options and parking facilities within 250 meters, hosting regular community events including monthly coffee mornings and lunchtime concerts.
Following medieval tradition, the church location along the Roman Watling Street made it a spiritual center for travelers, with two separate chapels established by neighboring manors.
