Church of St Mary the Virgin, Keysoe, Medieval religious building in Keysoe, England.

The Church of St Mary the Virgin showcases architectural elements from multiple periods, including a north aisle, south porch, chapel, tower, and spire.

Construction of the church began around 1150, with subsequent modifications during the 14th and 15th centuries adding medieval architectural features still visible today.

The religious structure maintains its position as a central gathering point for the Bolnhurst and Keysoe community, hosting regular services and ceremonial events.

Recent structural assessments have identified issues requiring immediate attention, including loose stones in the tower and an unstable south parapet.

A local narrative tells of William Dickens, who in 1718 survived a fall from the steeple by reciting a prayer during his descent.
