Find a church

This is a church like no other, a genuinely unique building that was the last major work of its architect, William Lethaby.

Modest and unassuming from the outside, Stoke Orchard's little church has many features showing its origins in about 1170.

Built on a Saxon foundation that may date back to the 700s, the present church takes character from the 1170s, when it was rebuilt by the Normans and transformed into a large and splendid building.

Beautiful gem of architecture.

This building is renowned as one of the most beautiful Roman Catholic churches in England.

From the outside St Mary's looks rather odd because the tower is at the east end, where the chancel should be.

Church of 12th century origins in peaceful rural location.

A remote and romantic place.
