St Mary the Virgin's Church, Wiggenhall, Grade I listed church in Wiggenhall St Germans, England.
The church features a substantial west tower with three stages, buttresses, turrets, and clerestory windows arranged in a Perpendicular architectural style.
Founded in 1250, the church underwent significant restoration work in 1862 under the direction of architect George Edmund Street, who preserved its medieval elements.
The interior contains carved wooden benches from 1500 depicting saints and figures, alongside a medieval screen with painted panels showing religious imagery.
The structure remains closed for safety considerations due to bat populations, and lacks modern facilities such as heating or running water.
A brass heart memorial commemorates Sir Robert Kervile, whose actual heart was retrieved after his death abroad and buried within the church walls.
