St Mary's Church is located on Rectory Road in the SE corner of Bluntisham village in Cambridgeshire. A church in Bluntisham is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. The current church dates from the 1330s when the chapel was built, and the west tower from 1370 to 1380. Part of the church was rebuilt in 1450, and restoration work was carried out from 1850 to 1913.
The church can list its rectors back to 1217, and counts among them Rev Henry Sayers, father of crime writer and poet Dorothy L. Sayers. The churchyard features the surnames of several characters from Sayers' mystery novel ‘The Nine Tailors'.
The churchyard contains three commonwealth war graves. It has been extended to the east for more modern burials.
