Church of St. Mary

The Church of St. Mary is a Grade I listed building located in Chiddingfold, dating back to the 13th century, with the tower attributed to the 17th century. The church underwent a complete renovation in 1869 by Henry Woodyer, with the exception of the chancel. It is constructed of stone, with brick used in the east wall of the North chancel chapel, and features plain tile roofs, including a pyramidal roof over the tower and a Horsham slab roof on the south porch. The structure includes a west tower, an aisled nave, a south porch, and a five-bay chancel with a north chapel. The tower, which has clasping buttresses, was heightened and corbelled in 1869, featuring lancet windows below and two-light windows with plate tracery above. The nave is supported by angle buttresses and has tomb recesses on the south side, while the south porch door is planked with an open iron grill above.

Inside, the church boasts a tall 13th-century four-bay nave arcade on octagonal piers with 15th-century arches, and the chancel arches are also from the 13th century, featuring semi-circular responds. The two-bay arcade leading to the North chancel chapel is similarly from the 13th century. Notable fittings include a fine marble font with a pyramidal hood cover, a pulpit with arcade carving, and arcaded choir stalls, along with a piscina in the south chancel wall.

Monuments on the south aisle wall include three designed by a local artist, crafted in black and grey marble with gold lettering, dedicated to William Enticknap, who died in 1808; John Enticknap, who died in 1789; and another John Enticknap, who also died in 1808. There is speculation that the east window of the south aisle contains fragments of colored glass from the medieval glassworks in Chiddingfold, although this is contested by Kenyon.

The church serves as a focal point within the group of buildings surrounding the village green.
