Church of St Mary the Virgin, Great Bedwyn, Medieval parish church in Great Bedwyn, England.

The stone church contains a combination of flint and limestone elements, featuring arcades from the 12th century and a tower from the 14th century.

The site holds Saxon remains from the 10th century beneath the current structure, with records showing the bishop of Winchester purchased land here in 905.

The chancel displays a memorial to Sir John Seymour, father of Jane Seymour who became Queen of England as wife of Henry VIII.

The church remains an active place of worship, hosting regular services and maintaining its Grade I listed status under English heritage protection.

A Greek inscription on the south wall buttress contains a message encouraging Christian warriors to maintain their religious conviction.
