St Mary and St Stephen, Wolsingham. Dating back to the 12th century, the church was almost completely rebuilt in 1848 leaving only the lower part of the west tower from the original 12th century structure.
The church is unusual in having had two names. The original, and present, name is St Mary and St Stephen but it was known as St Matthew's from 1848 to 1896.
