The original church, and village, of Stanford was demolished to make way for an ornamental lake. The church was rebuilt on its present site, on a hill. The new Stanford church is known locally as "the church amongst the daffodils". Though its stonework is starting to be in bad repair, is known for its stained glass. The most beautiful window is dedicated to Saint Mary, and shows the Virgin cuddling the baby Jesus and a lamb. Another shows a triumphant Jesus with Mary and John. There is also a magnificent altar.
