St. Mary's Church, St. Mary's is a parish church in the Church of England located in St. Mary's, Isles of Scilly.
History
In Hugh Town, another church was opened in 1838 to serve the population of the town, which had replaced Old Town as the main centre. Here, the present church of St Mary the Virgin is now the Anglican parish church of the Islands. King William IV granted £1,500 towards its erection and it was consecrated on 7 September 1838.
It contains the coloured and gilded wooden lion from the flagship of Sir Cloudesley Shovell, wrecked in 1707. Outside the church are two lead water cisterns dating from 1727.
The church was repaired by Corfield (C. Russell and Son), Architects of Falmouth between 1979 and 1980.
