A quiet look at the town’s landmark church / MELTON MOWBRAY

St Mary’s Church, Melton Mowbray

Step away from the shopping streets to look at St Mary’s spacious interior and windows. The church’s scale gives a different perspective on the town, and a brief visit can be a rewarding contrast to the market and museum. Take the building information available inside as a starting point, then leave time simply to look and sit.
