Parish church
Essendine is a village in Eastern Rutland, located 5 mi N of Stamford. This charming little church dedicated to St Mary sits isolated on the edge of the village. It is situated within a larger medieval site that once included a castle surrounded by a moat, fed by the West Glen River just to the east of the property. St. Mary’s is basically a two-cell 12th c. church which was remodeled in the 13th c. It consists of a chancel slightly higher than the nave and a well-preserved 13th c. double-bellcote on the W end of the nave, a common feature on Rutland churches. Extent Romanesque fabric includes the stunning S doorway, the simpler N doorway and components of the chancel arch, although it has evidently been rebuilt.
