St Mary the Virgin

St Mary's church has a fascinating history. We know from the Domesday Book that Linton was an important Saxon settlement with a royal manor. Pre conquest, this area had converted to Christianity in the 6th century but it also nestled on a turbulent Welsh border. Indeed, the imposing church tower was added as part of Edward III's border defences. Today, our church reflects a Victorian renovation but it is a complex building rewarding visitors with the unexpected.
