St Mary's Church, Birdsall

[1] In 1824, it was demolished and rebuilt for Henry Willoughby, 6th Baron Middleton, to a design by James Pigott Pritchett and Charles Watson.

Between 1879 and 1881, C. Hodgson Fowler added a chancel and an additional stage to the tower.

On the lowest stage is a window with a pointed head on the west side, and on the south side is a doorway with a pointed head, a hood mould with crockets, and a bas-relief with two figures and a coat of arms.

In the middle stage are lancet windows, and above, the bell openings have three lights.

[2] Inside the church are numerous memorials, including a 14th century recumbent figure of a woman, two black marble monuments from the late 17th century, a plaque to Thomas Southeby, designed by John Michael Rysbrack, and a white marble model of a kneeling woman, designed by Richard Westmacott.
