Beside the castle at Sudeley stands the small Perpendicular church of St Mary's. Around 1070 the Norman lord Harold de Sudeley built and endowed a church (provided money and income from his estates to maintain the church and a priest). Harold's son John granted Winchcombe Abbey the right to collect tithes on all Sudeley lands, and the abbey sends monks to hold services at St Mary's.In 1122 this practice was banned by the Pope. In 1460 Ralph Boteler, Lord Sudeley, decided to rebuild the Norman church. He seems to have asked a stonemason to carve heads of his friends in the exterior window stops. Each face is different, though they seem to have been drawn from only two models. In 1547 Thomas Seymour gained control of Sudeley Castle on his marriage to Queen Katherine Parr, widow of King Henry VIII. Katherine Parr died just a few days after giving birth to a daughter at Sudeley, and was buried near the altar of St Mary's church. An elaborate memorial to Queen Katherine was erected over her grave, but this was destroyed during the Civil War. After sitting in ruins for many years St. Mary’s Church was restored between 1855 and its rededication in 1863. Queen Katherine Parr lies entombed in the church, and is the only English queen to be buried on private land.
