St Mary the Virgin, Woburn

St. Mary the Virgin was built by the 8th Duke of Bedford in 1865-68 in a location between the village and stately home of Woburn Abbey. The church originally had a tower, but this proved unsafe and was removed in 1890.

St. Mary's takes its inspiration from the French Gothic style, but is blessedly restrained - at least by the standards of Victorian mock-Gothic. Note the gargoyles and other strange creatures peering from the tower.

The chancel is raised above the level of the nave which is remarkably simple and subdued in colour. The organ was donated by the 11th Duke in 1903.
