Plain Glass
St Mary's at Morton Bagot is easily missed, hidden down a rural lane with only a farm for company. The church is still used for occasional services but is otherwise normally kept locked.
The building is Norman in origin (surviving window in nave north wall) but much altered in the following centuries. Regardless it remains a humble two-cell structure capped with a (precariously leaning) saddle-backed timber bell turret.
Inside is a fine 1950s east window by Hardman's of Birmingham and two tiny patches of ancient wall painting, but the finest antiquity here is the c1500 prayer desk by the altar (not original to the church).
