Church of St Mary, Stotfold

The church is built of flint with Ashwell clunch stone dressings to the buttresses and is mainly in the Early Perpendicular style.

In about 1370 part of the south aisle was extended to its present size by piercing the side walls with arches to open it up.

In about 1450 the tower was added and the chancel widened and it is believed that the baptismal font also dates from this time and is octagonal and panelled.

The mediaeval glass was destroyed during the English Civil War apart from a few fragments in one of the windows of the north aisle.

In about 1824 much work was done at the church which included plastering the roof of the north aisle and replacing both the mediaeval carvings and the 400 year-old pews, the latter being done by local contractor William Seymour of Arlesey.
