Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox church The Church of St Mary the Virgin is a Church of England parish church in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. The church is a Grade I listed building.[1]

History

The church was built from 1908 to 1930, and was designed by Sir Ninian Comper.[1] It is in the Perpendicular Gothic style.[1] The design and interior of the church was influenced by the Oxford Movement and the Victorian revival of ritualism[2] Financing of the work was largely due to the Misses Sharman of Wellingborough.

On 9 June 1970, St Mary's Church was designated a Grade I listed building.[1] It is one of only a few Grade I listed buildings built in the 20th century.

The parish of St Mary the Virgin Wellingborough is in the Archdeaconry of Northampton in the Diocese of Peterborough.[3]

St Mary's stands in the Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England.[3] As the parish has passed resolutions to reject the ordination of women, it receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Richborough (currently Norman Banks).[4] It is also affiliated with Forward in Faith and The Society.[5][6]

Notable clergy

  • Michael Bent, later Archdeacon of Taranaki in New Zealand and Dean of Holy Trinity Cathedral, Fiji, served his curacy here from 1955 to 1960.[7][8]
