The Church of St. Mary the Virgin is an Anglican church in the London district of Putney, sited next to the river Thames. The building dates mostly from the re-build of 1836, although the tower is 15th century. Some of the interior was destroyed by fire in the 1970s.
In 1647, during the English Civil War, the church was the site of the Putney Debates on the English constitution.
The current vicar of St. Mary's is the Reverend Dr. Giles Fraser, who is also lecturer at in philosophy at Wadham College Oxford, and a leading authority on Nietzsche.
