About
St Mary's is Burghfield's parish church, on Church Lane in the old village of Burghfield, about a mile north east of the Common. It was rebuilt in 1843 in a Norman revival style by J. B. Clacy of Reading, and the chancel was added in 1892 by Bodley and Garner. It is listed Grade II. Inside are three effigies older than the building, a carved wooden figure of the fourteenth century said to be Sir Roger de Burghfield, and two stone figures of the fifteenth century traditionally a Neville earl of Salisbury and a countess. There is a service every Sunday at ten.
