St Mary's Church, Garthorpe

[3] The oldest fabric in the church is early 13th-century the Norman south arcade.

These are being monitored, and in 2009 the Churches Conservation Trust decided to underpin the wall of the north aisle.

[5] The body of the church is ironstone but the clerestory and west tower are limestone.

Around the top of the tower is a frieze decorated with lozenges, four gargoyles, a crenellated parapet, and four corner pinnacles.

In the north wall of the chancel is a tomb recess over which is an aumbry under a crocketted ogee-headed canopy.

The Perpendicular style reredos, the stalls and desks are all 19th-century Gothic Revival.

Also in the church are 19th-century donation and Commandments boards, the Royal coat of arms of George III, and monuments including three brasses.

Thomas II Newcombe of Leicester cast the treble bell in about 1580.

[6] In the churchyard southeast of the church is a late 19th-century brass sundial mounted on a re-used 15th-century pinnacle.
