The Parish Church of Saint Mary the Virgin

Deanery - Framland
Diocese - Leicester

Bottesford is a large village in the Vale of Belvoir and close to Belvoir Castle, the family seat of the Dukes of Rutland.
The parish church of St Mary the Virgin, sometimes known as the "Lady of the Vale", is a large medieval church at the centre of the village. The octagonal crocketed spire is 210 feet tall and can be seen for miles around.

Most of the church is 15th century, but the chancel was rebuilt in the 17th century to accommodate the Rutland monuments, which completely fill the chancel and offer a view of changing aristocratic taste in the 16th and 17th centuries.
