St Mary of Wedale Church , built in 1876, has an impressive 140 feet tower containing a clock. The train drivers on the Waverley Line used to set their watches by it such was its reputation for accuracy.
Packhorse Bridge, also known as a subscription bridge, built in 1654-5 which allowed burdened horses to cross safely. It was built to link the old 17th century link with the old kirk and helped give Stow its early prosperity.
St Marys well is part of Stows religious history dating back nearly 2000 years. There was once a chapel on the site and a stone with an impression of the Virgin Marys foot. The site was renovated in 2000 as a millennium project.
