The Church of St Mary the Virgin

The church was founded in the 11th century. Of the 12th century church building only the lower stages of the tower remain. The old church, with the exception of the tower and north chapel, was demolished in 1767 and rebuilt in red brick with stone buttresses. In 1880-81 the building was restored, re-roofed and the interior was refitted.[1]

Carlton Curlieu Hall is a Grade II* listed building.
