St Mary's Church, LutterworthInterior of the nave, showing the Doom over the chancel arch
The church building is 13th-century, with 14th- and 15th-century alterations. The church still contains some 15th-century wall paintings[3] including a large Doom over the chancel arch, with figures rising out of tombs and large seated Christ in majesty surrounded by angels. The spire on the church was blown down in 1703 and rebuilt in 1761. Sir George Gilbert Scott restored the building in 1866–1869.[4]
The translator John Wycliffe was rector of the church between 1374 and 1384.[1] It was here that he is traditionally believed to have produced the first translation of the Bible from Latin into English.[5] His translation of the Bible into English started the Lollard movement.[4] The Irish statesman Robert le Poer was parish priest here c.1318.
