Buildings and churches
East Adderbury is home to the parish church of the Blessed Virgin Mary ( Saint Mary the Virgin ). Its origins go back to the 13th century. In the 14th century the building was enlarged; in the early 15th century it was redesigned in the late Gothic Perpendicular Style . In the 18th century, St. Mary's fell into disrepair. Renovations were carried out from 1831 to 1834 by the architect John Chessell Buckler and from 1866 to 1870 by the architect George Gilbert Scott , whose son John Oldrid Scott also carried out a renovation in 1886.
