The Church of St Mary in Clipsham is a Grade II Plus listed medieval masterpiece constructed primarily between the 12th and 14th centuries from the village's world-renowned Clipsham stone. This architectural gem features a striking three-stage West tower and spire, pyramidical at summit with gilded weathercock above, dating to c 1300, notable for its unique frontal buttress containing a spiral staircase and a delicate cusped-head window. The building's structural evolution is evident in its mix of coursed stone, fine ashlar, and traditional Collyweston slate roofing, housing a nave, aisles, and a chancel that stand as a testament to Rutland's enduring masonry heritage. - AsNotedIn
