St. Mary's Church is a Church of England church located in Welwyn, Hertfordshire, in the United Kingdom. It is north of the River Mimram and within the Welwyn conservation area. The present church building is a grade II listed building.[1]
The chancel and nave of the church were built in the thirteenth century, most likely on the site of a destroyed Saxon chapel. The nave was modified to include a nave aisle in 1662, and its tower was rebuilt at this time.[2] [3] [4] The church was further expanded between 1867-1870 with the addition of an organ chamber, a vestry and a choir aisle.[3] The present tower was built in 1910 and the church house, constructed on the former northern part of the churchyard, was built in 2007.[5]
As of November 2020, the church is open daily to members of the public.
