St. Mary the Virgin Church, Uttoxeter, commonly called simply St Mary's, is the Church of England parish church of the town of Uttoxeter.[1] It has a 14th-century tower and spire, the nave was rebuilt in 1828 and the chancel in 1877. It is a Grade II* listed building.[2]
This is one of two Anglican churches in the parish; the other, also St Mary's, is commonly called "The Heath Church" to avoid confusion.
History
The church was built in the 14th century. By 1828 it was deemed too small so the nave was rebuilt to designs by the architect James Trubshaw. In 1877 the present chancel was built.[2]
