St Mary is an Anglican church in Wharram-le-Street, North Yorkshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.[2] The church belongs to the Wold Valley benefice within the Diocese of York, along with Helperthorpe, Kirby Grindalythe, Luttons Ambo, and Weaverthorpe.[3][4][5] About 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the church is the deserted medieval village of Wharram Percy and the ruins of the Church of St Martin, which dates to a similar period.
Architecture
The nave and lower part of the west tower were built in the early or mid-11th century, in the last decades before the Norman conquest of England.[6] The top of the tower is slightly later, representing the Saxo-Norman overlap architecture of the late 11th or early 12th century.[6] The chancel arch is pure Norman, the north aisle was added in the 14th century and the chancel was rebuilt in 1862–64.[6]
