Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a church building primarily dating to the 1865 rebuilding, though incorporating a 15th-century tower. It is situated on the north side of Streatley High Street. The church is constructed of flint rubble with stone dressings, featuring parapeted gable ends and tiled roofs.

The building comprises a west tower, nave, aisles, a south porch, a chancel, and north and south vestries. The three-stage west tower has diagonal and angle buttresses, plinth and string courses, a parapet string, and a coped battlemented parapet. A south-eastern three-stage half-octagonal newel turret rises from the tower, with a square first stage and a pyramidal stone cap. A Caernarvon arched doorway provides entry to the tower on the south side, with a boarded door, and narrow rectangular windows are in the top stage. The bell chamber has 2-cusped light louvred openings with hoodmoulds to the north, south and west; the south opening has a clock above. The first stage has rectangular windows to the north, south and west, while the west window is a 2-light design with a quatrefoil above.

The nave and aisles feature four circular quatrefoiled clerestory windows to both the north and south. The north aisle has five lancet windows, with a lancet at the west end, while the south aisle has four lancets and a lancet at its west end. The south-west doorway has two orders with moulded capitals and bases, and a moulded arch leading to a boarded door. A gabled south porch is constructed of timber on a flint base, with a tiled roof and decorated bargeboards. The archway is flanked by quatrefoil openings, and there are three quatrefoil openings on the east and west faces. The chancel has a shafted lancet to the south with moulded capitals and bases, and a returned hoodmould; the east end has stepped triple shafted lancets with a hoodmould and carved stops. A 20th-century vestry stands to the south, with a 3-light window to the left and a glazed door within a recessed porch to the right. A 19th-century vestry is situated to the north, featuring a moulded end stack to the west, two lancets flanking a central arched boarded door, and a square headed window of two lights with cusped ogee heads to the east.

Inside the church, the nave has aisle arcades with circular piers and moulded bases and capitals. The nave roof is a six-bay structure with tie beams, arch braced collars, and double purlins with two tiers of windbraces. Memorial tablets are set into the south aisle wall. The tower arch is arched and shafted, and the west window is a shafted design with plate tracery with a central shaft. The chancel arch is also moulded. The chancel features low pierced walls at the entrance, shafted lancets at the east end, and an arched sedilia, piscina, and aumbry. Fittings include an octagonal wooden pulpit on a stone base, an eagle lectern, an octagonal stone font with quatrefoil panels, and a rich reredos by Pearson. Brasses depict Elizabeth Proutt (1440), Margaret Buryngton (1570), Griffin Clarke (1583), and Thomas Buriton (1603).
