SP9019 : Late 18th century gravestones at St Mary the Virgin, Mentmore
taken 12 years ago, near to Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, England
This church was originally in the centre of the village of Mentmore and surviving details date back to the early 13th century. Over the centuries other changes were made until the mid-Victorian period. Then Baron Mayer de Rothschild purchased the Manor of Mentmore, and relocated the village away from the church so he could build his magnificent house, Mentmore Towers, on the site of the village. The church underwent a major restoration and partial rebuild in 1858, carried out by George Stokes.
It is a Grade II* listed building Link
The church is no longer a separate parish being linked with Cheddington and Marsworth.
