St Mary's church - Thorpe Arnold, Leicestershire - Anglican and Episcopal Churches on Waymarking.com

"Thorpe Arnold, just outside Melton Mowbray on the A607 to Grantham, has an ancient church with a nave dating from 800, and a very active, friendly and welcoming congregation.

Services are held at 9.45am each Sunday and, in addition, a quiet communion service at 6pm on the first Sunday of the month. The congregation support each other and the wider community with prayer partners, regular coffee mornings, lunches for senior citizens, social events, collecting provisions for Storehouse, supporting the wider parish and Churches Together in Melton Mowbray.

The present church building dates back to 1150AD, with extensions and numerous periods of rebuilding and repairs, the last major scheme being in the 1860’s, where the whole building, from the clerestory upwards, was taken down and rebuilt. It was during the period that the medieval glass was removed. The only stained glass windows that we now have are late Victorian. The font dates back to 850AD.

Over the past 20 years, the nave and chancel roofs have been replaced, a new lighting scheme installed, external walls re-pointed, tracery windows repaired and a new set of 5 bells hung in the tower. In 2007, the Chancel was reordered, with the choir stalls being removed, new carpet being laid and new chairs purchased."
