St Mary's, Fimber was rebuilt on the site of an ancient one in 1871 at a cost of £7,000 (£810,000 today) defrayed by Sir Tatton Sykes. It is a dressed stone edifice in the Norman style, and comprises chancel, nave, south porch and western tower containing three bells. All the windows are filled with stained glass.
The chancel arch is lofty and elegant and rests on circular piers. Separating this part of the church from the nave is a handsome screen of brass.
Under the east window is a very beautiful reredos of marble and alabaster, and in the south wall is a triple sedilia.
Oak has been used for the roofs of both chancel and nave; the former is carved exhibiting stars, the latter is painted, and seats are also of oak.
The pulpit is of Caen stone finely carved, and lectern is a superbly finished piece of brass-work. (c)iaingsmith - 2018.
