Piddlehinton - St Mary the Virgin

            The church was dedicated to St Mary the Virgin in 1299, but of the original building only the west arch under the tower remains. The present church seems to have been rebuilt during the 15th century - the tower somewhat earlier. The chancel, the north colonnade of the nave and the south porch are of the early 16th century. The south porch has been partly restored and the door was blocked up when it was made into a vestry.    
The north door was added in 1867 and on the west wall is a coffin lid with a moulded lid and the remains of a cross, dating from the early part of the 14th century.    
The south tower is the oldest part of the church and on the north pillars there are some delicate carvings of roses and oak leaves with acorns.
The tower itself contains a peal of six bells. A board in the south transept states "A peal was rung at Piddlehinton on Christmas Day Morning 1820, 4 hours and 2 minutes".
In the north wall of the chancel is a memorial, painted on wood, to the memory of the wife of Thomas Clavering, rector from 1629 to 1665, who died of the Plague whilst ministering to the sick of the parish.
