Leicestershire Churches: St Mary Magdalene, Stapleford

When the new Lord of the Manor is a clergyman with very definite ideas about how the Anglican liturgy should be done, you get a church like St. Mary Magdalene, Stapleford. When Rev. Robert Sherard inherited Stapleford Park and the title Earl of Harborough in 1770, he rebuilt the parish church in the Park according to his own ideas - ideas that were quite radical. Now redundant and cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust, St. Mary's is an exvellent example of Georgian "Gothick," containing family memorials. It is one of three churches that Robert Sherard built, only two of which retain their interiors.
