About St Mary the Virgin's Church, Little Hormead
St Mary the Virgin's Church, Little Hormead, stands near Buntingford in Hertfordshire. This former Anglican place of worship is no longer used as a parish church. It is protected at Grade I and has been entrusted to the Churches Conservation Trust.
The church originated around 1050 and served both Little Hormead and Great Hormead by the time of the Domesday survey. Its flint walls have stone detailing, while the brick porch and red-tiled roofs are later additions. The narrow Norman nave retains early doorways, a window and the arch leading to the chancel. That chancel was renewed in the early 1200s, and the timber bellcote dates from the 15th century, although both the eastern end and bellcote were reconstructed during restoration in 1888. Inside are a 14th-century octagonal font, a medieval piscina and Charles II’s arms from 1660. A richly decorated 12th-century wooden door with iron scrollwork and a dragon motif is preserved within the building.
