St Mary's Parish Church was constructed in the 13th and 14th century, with a 15th century tower, although the Norman font points to an earlier date for a church on the site. It was restored in 1860 and is a Grade I Listed Building
It also has an unusual lynchgate, The Tapsell Lychgate at Weston Turville.
The Lychgate of St Mary the Virgin is of a very unusual design and is a grade II listed building Link and has been renovated in 2006. The gate is mounted on a wooden post which is pivoted top and bottom and there is a weight and pulley mechanism to automatically close the gate.
The Lychgate carries the plaque “This Tapsell Lychgate was faithfully renovated by Don Billing 2004.”
