Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a former chapel that has been repurposed as a parish church. It was rebuilt in 1872 and incorporates fragments from the 12th century. The building is constructed of ashlar stone with a tiled roof. It features a continuous nave and chancel, along with a north aisle on both sides and a bellcote at the west end of the nave.

The chancel and nave consist of four bays and include three lancet windows. There is a south door in the west bay that has a reset 12th-century door set within a gabled projection. This door features three orders, with the outer two being enriched and having engaged shafts to the responds. The west end displays three stepped lancets and a double opening bellcote above that houses two bells. The east end is adorned with three trefoiled lights beneath a two-centred head.

The north aisle has four bays with a configuration of lancets in a 2:1:1:2 pattern, separated by stepped buttresses. The west end has a single lancet, while the east end features a pair of lancets. Inside, there is a three-bay arcade with segmental arches supported by two 12th-century columns with simple capitals, and the east respond is also from the 12th century. Both the main vessel and the aisle have four-bay roofs.

Notable fittings include a 17th-century altar rail with pierced splat balusters that were removed from Purshall Hall in the 1940s, accompanied by a contemporary communion table. On the north wall of the aisle, there is a wall tablet dedicated to Edmund Purshall, who died in 1650, along with others, topped by an armorial cartouche that states: "Being the first that was interred in the Church (at least for many Ages)." Elmbridge was a chapelry of Dodderhill until 1877.
