- Yazor, Herefordshire (Church of St Mary the Virgin)
This Victorian church has a needle-sharp spire that overlooks the Wye Valley.
The church was built at the expense of the Price family of nearby Foxley between 1843 and 1855. The architect was George Moore but the spire and remarkable fittings were completed by the rector, The Reverend R L Freer.
The dark and atmospheric interior is a riot of colourful painting and wonderful wood carving, lit by some beautiful stained glass.
This church is also part of our Five Churches Trail, which takes you on a wonderful journey around the rural heartland of Herefordshire.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Access via a path from the churchyard, through a gate, across a small grassed churchyard and up a couple of steps into chapel. Please notew that there is no vehicle access directly to the church and no parking.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
