The church of St Mary the Virgin in Walsham-le-Willows is Grade I listed and entirely of Perpendicular design having been built in the C14th and C15th. It consists of a nave with north and south aisles, a chancel, a north porch and a vestry at the north side of the chancel, and a west tower. The interior was restored in 1878.
The church is built in random kidney flint with strap pointing and freestone dressings. There are lead roofs to the nave and aisles and plain tiles to chancel.
The font is ornate and octagonal in the Decorated style, (c.1250–1350). It has a panelled base, each face of the bowl, which is supported on crowned heads, has a flamboyant ogee arch with droplets, the top is crenellated. It is of a basic design which is quite common in the area and is to be found at the west end of the nave, near the north porch entrance.
