A tiny church with ancient origins.

A church that tells the history of architecture over the centuries, from the Normans to the Victorians, and a real live who done it as you walk round our lovely church situated in the middle of a beautiful churchyard.

St Mary the Virgin, Marden is in a peaceful location on the east bank of the River Lugg and surrounded by farmland.

A beautiful sermon, expressed in stone.

A needle sharp spire with views over the Wye Valley.

A giant splinter of masonry clings to the side of the church here. Apart from the north aisle, which has been the parish church since the 15th century, it is all that remains of the great abbey church and its buildings that once stood on this site.

The church of St Mary the Virgin is mainly 13th and 14th century on Anglo Saxon foundations, with Victorian restoration after a devastating fire in 1840.

This peaceful little church was built in 1740 to replace one which was destroyed by the River Wye.
