St Mary's Church is in Ambleside, Cumbria, England. It was built in the 1850s to a design by George Gilbert Scott in Gothic Revival style (specifically Decorated Gothic). The building is Grade II* listed.[1] Notable features include its stone spire, which is a local landmark and an unusual feature in Lake District churches.[2][3]

The building is constructed of slate, the typical building stone of the locality, and sandstone which is used for dressings and the spire.
