Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Huish Episcopi, Medieval church in Huish Episcopi, England.

The Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary features a tall tower constructed around 1500, decorated with pinnacles and quatrefoil panel bands along its walls.

The current structure dates back to January 17, 1301, following the reconstruction of an earlier church that stood on the same site since the 11th century.

The church interior contains a stained glass window created by Edward Burne-Jones, exhibiting the craftsmanship of Victorian-era religious art in England.

Monthly services of Holy Communion take place every third Sunday at 10:30 a.m., lasting one hour with readings, hymns, and organ performances.

The architectural design combines blue lias stone with golden hamstone decorations, and the tower appeared on a postage stamp issued in 1972.
