St. Mary's Church, Bury St. Edmunds, Grade I listed parish church in Bury St Edmunds, England.

The church features a magnificent hammer beam roof adorned with carved angels and holds the distinction of having England's second-longest nave among parish churches.

Built between 1290 and 1490, the church became the final resting place of Mary Tudor, Queen of France and sister of Henry VIII, after her remains were transferred in 1538.

The church maintains strong connections with local military organizations and serves as the primary civic church for Bury St Edmunds community celebrations and ceremonies.

Visitors can explore the church from Monday through Saturday between 10:30 AM and 3:00 PM, with free admission and suggested donations for building maintenance.

The west window measures 35 feet 6 inches by 8 feet 6 inches, making it the largest parish church window in England.
