St Mary & St Lawrence's Church in Stratford Tony, Wiltshire, England was built in the 13th century. 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] It was declared redundant on 1 October 1984, and was vested in the Trust on 26 March 1986.[3]
The stone and flint church is on the banks of the River Ebble and accessed down a narrow lane, then across a stream and up a steep bank on foot.[2] The chancel dates from the 14th, and the tower from the 15th, while the nave was rebuilt in the 18th century.[1]
The interior of the church includes a 14th-century font and box pews with colonnaded tops. The stained glass in the east window was installed by the studio of Charles Eamer Kempe in 1884.[2]
There is a large Yew tree in the churchyard with a girth of over 11 feet (3.4 m).[4]
