Morchard Bishop : St Mary the Virgin Church
The church (The Church of St Mary the Virgin) is the most prominent building in Morchard. The present fine building probably dates to the late C15 th but was significantly altered in C18th and C19th . The site, the highest point in the village, had previously been occupied by a church or oratory, perhaps since Saxon times. Perhaps uniquely, a meteorite struck the church tower in 1952, causing some structural damage.
