St Mary the Virgin 
Charlton Mackrell
The church of St. Mary the Virgin is of 14th century origin with much refashioning in the 15th century but a drastic restoration of circa 1847 has somewhat obscured the architectural history. The Victorian renovation involved the rebuilding of the porch, roofs and most of the windows and the addition of the vestry The lovely end window of the north transept has the ball flower ornament typical of the period on the rere arch.
