Tarrant Crawford - Church of St Mary the Virgin

The Church of St Mary the Virgin (Churches Conservation Trust), walls are almost covered with 14th century murals. Beside the church there was once an abbey for nuns for whom was written the famous 13th century rule book by Bishop Richard Poore who instituted Salisbury Cathedral in 1200. Poore was buried in the abbey at the same time as Joan, the Queen of Scotland, daughter of King John.
