Church of St Mary the Virgin, Chard, Medieval parish church in Chard, England.
The Church of St Mary the Virgin features a three-stage west tower with moulded string courses and an angle stair turret in its north-west corner.
The current structure dates from the late 11th century and underwent substantial rebuilding during the 15th century, with the tower constructed between 1505 and 1520.
The interior houses commemorative tablets, memorial windows, and an oak pulpit designed by architect J.D. Sedding, installed in 1884 as a tribute to W.J. Tucker's children.
The church maintains regular services and includes seating for 525 people following its restoration, which was completed at a cost of £3,400 in 1884.
The tower contains eight bells, including two crafted in the 1790s by Thomas Bilbie, and features a clock that marks time with the distinct Chard Chimes.
