The Church of England parish church of St Mary the Virgin was built as a chapelry of Hanney in the first half of the 13th century.
There is a Mass dial scratched on the south wall.
The wooden bell-turret was added in the 15th century, has a scissor-braced timber frame and three bells.
The Perpendicular Gothic clerestory was added either at the same time or early in the 16th century.
The church was restored in 1875 under the direction of the Gothic revival architect Ewan Christian.
It is a Grade II* listed building.

St Mary's parish is now part of the United Benefice of Cherbury with Gainfield.

Rev. Michael Camilleri (circa 1814–1903), sometime vicar of Lyford, translated the New Testament into Maltese.
