Church of St Peter and St Paul, Market Overton

The church primarily dates from the late 13th and early 14th century though it does have a tower arch dating from the Anglo-Saxon era, the "only worthwhile piece of Anglo-Saxon architecture in the County". There is an Early English column capital inverted to make a base for the Norman bowl, on the font. A coffin the size of an infant is on the north side of the tower arch and was probably made for an Anglo-Saxon family. On the east wall of the chancel, is a monument to Henry Tymperon. There is also a monument to Thomas Cox, a former rector. The sundial on the south face of the tower is said to have been donated by Sir Isaac Newton. His mother, Harriet Ayscough, lived in the village.
