St Mary the Virgin

Notes:
"The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, is a mid-14th-century church with an aisled and cloistered nave of four bays. St. Mary's is, by hundreds of years, older than any other building in Finedon, bearing in mind Finedon's apparent importance, as old as it is, this present church of ours is not Finedon's first. The ironstone gravestone that now stands near the font, which bears a carving of a cross within a circled, is thought by some to be Saxon, therefore it seems probable that there was a Saxon church here."
-The Church St Mary's Church, Finedon.

The old cemetery was situated on the opposite side of Church Hill until 1894 when a new site was opened on Station Road.
