Church of St Mary the Virgin, Bowdon, Gothic Revival church in Bowdon, England
The Church of St Mary the Virgin features a four-staged tower with diagonal buttresses, ornate clock faces, and gargoyles built from pink and red Runcorn sandstone.
The first religious building on this location appeared in records during the Domesday Book period, leading to several reconstructions until the current structure of 1860.
The church maintains an archive of christening, marriage, and burial records from 1628, contributing to genealogical research of numerous local families.
The church building includes a six-bay nave with clerestory, north and south aisles, transepts, and a chancel containing an organ loft and vestry.
The interior displays 16th-century camber beam roofs with detailed carvings, including a medieval tomb containing the effigy of Sir William Baguley from 1320.
