St Mary's Church in South Tidworth, Wiltshire, England was built in 1878. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building,[1] and is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[2]
The church was built of rock faced brown stone, in a Gothic Revival style, by John Johnson, with work supervised by G.H. Gordon,[3] for Sir John Kelk of the Kelk Baronets,[2] near the site of an older medieval parish church.[4] The chancel is 28 feet (8.5 m) by 17 feet (5.2 m) and the nave 43 feet (13 m) by 17 feet (5.2 m). There are also north and south aisles and a north vestry and a south porch.[5]
The interior includes carvings and polished marble shafts in the columns of the arcade piers. The chancel floor is laid with Italian mosaic. There is also a silver chalice and patens of 1837 and 1877 and a silver-gilt flagon of 1869.[5] The altar and stone carvings were built by Farmer & Brindley.[6]
The church was declared redundant on 1 September 1972, and was vested in the Trust on 19 December 1973.[7]
