St Mary's Church, Ottery St Mary, Medieval parish church in Ottery St Mary, England
The stone church stretches 163 feet in length with two towers reaching 71 feet high, featuring a cruciform layout similar to Exeter Cathedral.
Bishop John Grandisson purchased the manor in 1335 and established a collegiate foundation, leading to substantial reconstruction of the church structure.
The church maintains regular worship services, children's activities, and community gatherings, forming the center of the Otter Vale Mission Community.
Located at 1 Paternoster Row, the church opens daily from 9 AM to 5:30 PM and includes wheelchair access throughout the building and churchyard.
The south transept contains one of England's oldest mechanical clocks, following Ptolemaic cosmology and restored to working condition in 1907.
