St Mary's Church is a redundant medieval Anglican church in the village of Barton Bendish, Norfolk, England. This village had two more parish churches –St Andrew's Church, and All Saints' Church (demolished). St Mary's is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building,[1] and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[2] The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner was of the opinion that its west door is "one of the best Norman doorways in England".[2] The church stands in an isolated position to the west of the village.[3]
