St Mary, Bedfont Green, East Bedfont

The chancel and eastern part of the nave are Norman, with a later medieval extension at the east end, a wide north transept of 1829 and the western end of the nave and tower of 1865. The churchyard is famed for it topiary peacocks. Inside there are two 13th century wall paintings.

The church was designed by Carpenter and Ingelow and built in 1878-80 but the tower was only added in 1898.
