St Mary's church is located on School Lane in the small village of Conington, two miles south of Fenstanton.

The oldest part of St Mary's is the 14th century west tower, built of stones collected from the village fields. The church is entered from the west through the tower by way of a rusticated doorway dating from the time the nave was rebuilt by Dingley Askham in 1737. The chancel was rebuilt by W.M. Fawcett in 1871. Restorations occurred in 1902 and 1911 when the broach spire was rebuilt.

The nave contains what has been described as ‘the finest collection of funerary monuments in East Anglia', including the only known marble monument signed by Grinling Gibbons (though there is similar work in All Saints', Conington (Hunts).

The church is surrounded by a square tree-lined churchyard with sparse memorials.
