The parish church of St Mary in Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire. The church consists of a nave and chancel with north and south aisles and porches with a vestry to the north of the chancel. ⛪️ It has a freestanding tower which sits around 70 feet away from the church building. Theories as to why the tower is separate are the subject of much local folklore. 👀 🤔 The current building dates primarily from the 14th and 15th centuries but it is believed that there was probably an earlier church on the site, which may have been established in Anglo Saxon times. ⛪️ We spotted a number of CWGC headstones in the well -maintained churchyard, such as that of Private A Evans of the Essex Regiment, who died on 29 July 1918 at the age of 20. 🪦 • #MarstoneMoretaine #StMarys #Bedfordshire #Churchyard #ChurchesOfInstagram #Church #MarstonMoreteyne #Architecture #14thCentury #15thCentury #History #LocalHistory #BuildingsOfInstagram #ArchitecturePhotography #MedievalArchitecture #MarstonVale #Medieval #ChurchPhotography #CWGC #1918 #EssexRegiment #WW1 #LestWeForget (at Marston Moretaine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CODWoBTLDSQ/?igshid=13w6xrwt5j4jb
