Filled with glorious monuments, this late medieval church is a light-filled wonder, its clear glass windows displaying almost lace-like tracery. The estate of Conington belonged to Maud, niece of William the Conquerer, who married David, son of the Scottish King Malcolm, in 1109. Conington remained part of Scotland until 1237 and was eventually passed to the Cotton family, whose gloriously opulent monuments are held in the church today. This church is one of 340 cared for by The Churches Conservation Trust – the national charity protecting historic churches at risk. Discover these atmospheric buildings and the stories they tell of people and place. You will find some of the finest craftsmanship the country has to offer - art and architecture, wall paintings, sculpture, stained glass and monuments. A thousand years of English history awaits you!
