[3] St Mary's Church, Rickinghall Superior, stands to the south of the village, on the other side of the A143 road.

[5] St Mary's is constructed in flint rubble with ashlar and brick dressings.

Its plan consists of a wide four-bay nave without aisles, a narrower, lower and shorter chancel, a south porch and a west tower.

On the west side, extending into both of the lower two stages, is a two-light arched window.

The nave stands on a decorated plinth, and contains four large three-light Perpendicular windows.

[6] In the churchyard are five structures to the north of the church that have been designated as Grade II listed buildings.
