Wexham: St Mary's Church The oldest part of the church, the nave, dates from the 12th century, and the circular opening in the west wall, visible here, dates from that time. Below it the two-light window dates from the 15th century. The bell tower has wooden weatherboarding and a wooden spire above.

The church appears to stand in isolation from any other contemporary buildings, but the manor house of Wexham Court, now demolished, used to stand on the other side of Church Lane. Today the Wexham Court housing estate covers the area of the manor house.
