Church of St Mary, Over

A 13th and 14th-century church of Barnack limestone, much restored in 1840. The highlight of the 14th-century work is an abundance of Decorated Gothic ornamentation, including traditional flower-balls and a wonderful collection of gargoyles in the shape of birds, beasts and strange monsters.
The other feature of note is the lovely south porch, rather oddly lacking some of the ornamentation visible in other parts of the church, but a wonderful piece of architecture nonetheless. The porch was built between the years 1320-1330 and the entrance is flanked by a pair of octagonal spires. The interior of the porch is vast, as large as many a cathedral porch.
