Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire - a photo on Flickriver

            The Parish Church of Saint Mary

The market town of Melton Mowbray is approximately 20 miles north east of the city of Leicester.  The town sits on the Rivers Eye and the Wreake and is famous for Stilton cheese and pork pies.

The parish church is dedicated to St Mary and sits in the centre of the town and dates back to around 1170 with most of the current building dated from 13th to the 15th centuries.
The church is cruciform with a 100ft central town that dominates the surrounding town.  The church has aisled transepts, one of only five in the country, a feature usually found only in a cathedral.
