History
“St. Mary’s was built in the 15th Century. It is Grade II listed, and has perpendicular architecture. This style of building began in England in the mid-14th century, and puts emphasis on vertical lines. It was commonly used for churches.
Originally, St. Mary’s was in its own individual parish. Over time, this was consumed by the nearby, larger parishes of West Somerton and Winterton. After this, St. Mary’s was used as a chapel for the residents of Burnley Hall until the 17th century before it fell into disuse.
Now, over 300 years later, what once were tall windows have been reduced to gaping holes.”
