St Mary in Arden Church, Medieval church ruins in Market Harborough, England
The remaining structure of St Mary in Arden Church stands as a roofless shell with Norman architectural elements and a 12th-century doorway on Great Bowden Road.
Dating back to 1220, the church suffered damage from an earthquake in 1625, leading to its reconstruction in 1693 by architect Henry Dormer as a smaller chapel.
The churchyard contains gravestones made from Swithland slate and limestone, marking burials from the 17th and 18th centuries until the final interment in 1878.
The Grade II listed building remains locked and empty, surrounded by modern structures on the outskirts of Market Harborough near Great Bowden Road.
The church interior features wolves'-head moulds and preserves a broken effigy of a 14th-century lady among its architectural elements.
