St Mary's Priory Church, Deerhurst, Anglo-Saxon church in Deerhurst, England
The stone church features a rectangular structure with a tall nave, semi-circular apse, and side chapels characteristic of Anglo-Saxon architecture from 800 AD.
During 1016, King Edmund Ironside and Cnut signed a treaty at this location following the Battle of Ashingdon, marking a pivotal moment in English history.
The ninth-century Saxon font within the church displays intricate carvings and decorative elements that mirror artistic patterns found in period manuscripts.
The church remains accessible through the fourteenth-century west door at the tower base, offering regular religious services for the local community.
The sculpture of the Virgin with Child stands out for its representation of Mary carrying Jesus in her womb, an exceptional artistic choice for religious art.
