Looking up Church Brow, towards St Mary's Church. The Church of St Mary the Virgin, in the village of Bowdon is designated as a Grade II* listed building by English Heritage. There has been a church on the site since at least as early as the time of the Domesday Book. It is likely that a new church was built in the 14th century and remodelled in the 16th century. The church was completely rebuilt between 1858 and 1860, although the 16th-century roofs of the aisles were retained and incorporated into the new structure. http://www.bowdonchurch.org/ Church website http://www.panosphere.co.uk/360_virtual_tours/Church_Virtual_Tour/index.html - 360 degree virtual tour of the church interior.
