St. Mary's Church, Higham Ferrers, Grade I listed church in Higham Ferrers, England.
The church features a double nave layout with a prominent spire, detailed stone carvings, and elaborate medieval architectural elements throughout its structure.
Founded by King Henry III's charter in 1220, the church underwent major expansions in 1320, including the addition of the Lady Chapel and widened north aisle.
The church houses exceptional medieval brass monuments, including the 1337 memorial to Laurence St Maur, positioned on an altar tomb since 1633.
Visitors can access the church every Sunday and Wednesday between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM during summer months, with shorter hours in winter.
The west porch, constructed between 1270 and 1280, displays masonry work similar to Westminster Abbey, suggesting shared craftsmen between both structures.
