Location

Description
An austere kirk in the Scots Gothic style.
History
Although built over a millennium later than the extraordinary St. Ambrose's Church, St. Maria's Church ultimately had far more influence on the history of the Village. Built with papal approval by the growing community of Scottish Catholic lairds in Stanbury in the 1600s (before the unpleasantness resulting from the 1745 uprising), the Church also owned extensive estates across the village, including the land now dedicated to its fascinating cemetery. This ensured that Stanbury was spared the encroachments of smoke-belching, disease-inducing heavy industry which spoilt other suburbs of central Malton.
Although the church is dedicated to Mary, it is best-known for its stained-glass window depicting St Maggie of May, the patron saint of tartan weavers.
Formerly the site of a major revivification clinic, it was once almost completely overrun by zombies, particularly belonging to the Pwotters zombie group.
Barricade Policy
Following the Stanbury Village Barricade Plan this church should be barricaded to VSB++ to serve as an entry point for the surrounding buildings. The next nearest entry point is two blocks south of the church, at Johnstone Towers.
Current Status
10-6-2009 You are inside St Maria's Church. The building has been very heavily barricaded. Also here are Dr Allstop, Iceboxer, Nichtleben and Jaaaaaames2. A portable generator has been set up here. It is running. Somebody has spraypainted City Morgue - you kill em, we chill em! onto a wall. LtPebble 03:06, 7 October 2009 (BST)
