St Mary's Church, Grade II listed church in Tyneham, England
The stone church structure displays traditional English parish architecture with trefoil-headed lancets and a clay tile roof covering the six-bay aisled nave.
The church served the local community until 1943 when the entire village of Tyneham was evacuated during World War II for military training purposes.
The building maintains its original iron columns and pointed timber arches, representing the craftsmanship and architectural elements of late Victorian religious construction.
Visitors can access the church during designated hours when the Tyneham village is open, typically on weekends and public holidays throughout the year.
The church contains a note from 1943 left by villagers asking future visitors to care for the building, which remains displayed near the entrance.
