About us
St Mary’s Church, Freeland
This unaltered Victorian Gothic church of 1870 was designed by J. L. Pearson, an important Gothic Revival architect.
The glass and wall-paintings – which have recently been restored to their former glory – by his favourite craftsmen, Clayton and Bell.
The adjoining parsonage and the school form part of the scheme.
