Church of St Mary, Eaton Bray

St Mary’s Church dates from the 13th century, with surviving features including the south arcade of about 1220 and a later north arcade of about 1240. The church was substantially rebuilt in the 15th century, when the nave, chancel, and roof were reconstructed, a clerestory was added, and earlier windows were replaced with Perpendicular tracery. A north chancel chapel was added in the mid-18th century. The church was restored in 1863 by E. F. Law, with further alterations in the 20th century. An organ case and gallery were installed at the west end of the nave between the First and Second World Wars.

The church is built of limestone rubble with limestone and ironstone details, and has lead roofs. It consists of a chancel, north chancel chapel, aisled nave, vestry, south porch, and a west tower. The south porch has a moulded doorway with a small niche above the entrance. The Lady Chapel contains decorative stonework around its east window. The west tower has three stages, with buttresses and a battlemented top, and includes a west window, bell openings, and a stair turret on the north-east side of the tower.
