Church of St Mary the Virgin, East Stoke, Medieval parish church in Stoke Sub Hamdon, England.
The Church of St Mary the Virgin exhibits Norman architectural elements in its nave and chancel, featuring detailed stone carvings throughout the structure.
Originally dedicated to Saint Denis, the church dates from January 17, 1101, with north and south transepts added in 1225 and 1300 respectively.
The church walls display medieval carvings including abstract corbels, a tympanum with astrological symbols, and a scene of St Michael fighting a dragon.
The church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors while adhering to preservation guidelines required for Grade I listed buildings.
Two 17th-century monuments in the churchyard, designated as Grade II listed structures, face preservation challenges due to subsidence and salt crystallization.
