Built on the site of a Bronze Age stone circle of puddingstones, parts of the building date to the 12th century, the church is architecturally a mixture of English Gothic styles. Weakened by additions to the church tower and undermined by burials in and around the church, by the 19th century the building was structurally unsound. The church was remodeled and strengthened in the 1860’s by George Gilbert Scott and again in the 20th century by Robert Potter.

The town of Chesham grew rapidly in the 19th century. After the parish was transferred to the Diocese of Oxford, reforms introduced by the Bishop of Oxford, Samuel Wilberforce, led to the parish being partitioned, eventually becoming four independent parishes. In 1980 it was decided to reverse this decision, and three of these parishes were reunited under St. Mary's Church.

Without doubt the most fascinating and historically important building in Chesham, St Mary’s Church stands as a bold testimony to the faith that has helped shape the town and the people who live and work in it for hundreds of years. Unwrapping the history of this beautiful building is to peel back centuries of service, hope and courage, as well as dark moments of tragedy and failure, which have combined to make this far more than an Historic monument, but an inspirational home for a growing community of 21st century Christians. The spire reaches higher than any other local building. Your trip to London and performance at St. Mary’s Cambridge will be both uplifting and unforgettable.
