Church of St Peter and St Paul, Market Overton

The church primarily dates from the late 13th and early 14th century^[4] though it does have a tower arch dating from the Anglo-Saxon era, the "only worthwhile piece of Anglo-Saxon architecture in the County".^[3]

The tower was added^{[dubious – discuss]} in the 13th century but the top section was added the following century and it was also raised.^{[5][better source needed]}

There is an Early English^[6] column capital inverted to make a base for the Norman bowl, on the font.^[5]

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.^[5] On the east wall of the chancel, is a monument to Henry Tymperon. There is also a monument to Thomas Cox, a former rector.^[5]

The sundial on the south face of the tower is said to have been donated by Sir Isaac Newton.^[3][6] His mother, Harriet Ayscough, lived in the village.^[5]
