An Unspoilt Medieval Atmosphere
St Mary’s is set on a hillside, below the Chiltern escarpment but above the new village stretching along the valley floor. The building dates from the 13th - and 15th-centuries.
It has a tall tower, a long nave and a chancel with beautifully carved capitals. Its interior includes handsome carving on the Norman font from an earlier church, numerous Medieval tiles, fine 16th- and 17th-century woodwork and a 1733 Royal Arms and texts above the chancel arch.
The gentle 19th-century restoration has left an unspoiled Medieval atmosphere.
Open from May to September on Sundays from 2.30pm to 5.30pm; other times keyholder nearby
