This Place of Worship was founded before 1562. The present St Mary's Church is the third such building on its site. The first medieval church fell into disrepair after the Reformation, but was rebuilt in 1774, "in classical style". The present building dates from 1861-2, designed by W.F. Poulton of Reading, as "Neo-Norman Gothic", was its replacement.

With a tower and steeple giving it the appearance of a "wedding-cake", of separate layers, it could (in my opinion) lose the steeple, and the tower, with pinnacles at each of its four corners would stand quite proudly alone.
