St Mary The Virgin

There is a reference to "St Mary in Buri" dated 1075 indicating the existance of an earlier church on this site.

The west tower is late C13 to early C14, with angle buttresses and a stepped parapet.

The north porch is a fine example of C14 work with heavy timbers and 8-light open tracery on the sides.

The south porch is early C16 red brick with a crowstepped gable and a castellated parapet with machicolation.

The Waldegrave Chapel was built by Sir William Waldegrave circa 1514.

The nave has original roof corbels carved as angels.

The font is C16, octagonal, with the Tudor arms and armorial shields dates circa 1545.
