St Mary's Church, Bruera

St Mary's Church is in the small settlement of Bruera, which lies between the villages of Saighton and Aldford, in Cheshire, England.

[2] The settlement of Bruera is not recorded in the Domesday Book and the first mention of the church is in the Chartulary of St Werburgh's Abbey, Chester dating from around 1150.

[3] The fabric of the present church dates from the Norman period and there have been a number of additions and restorations since.

[5] A major restoration was carried out in 1896 by W. M. Boden at expense of the 1st Duke of Westminster involving the south porch and vestry, and a belfry was added.

At the west end is an oak-framed, louvred belfry with a low square shingled spire.

[1][3] The altar table and chancel gates date from the 18th century while the sanctuary chairs are Jacobean.
