Church of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is an Anglican parish church built in 1837 and restored in 1902, likely designed by James Deane. It features buff-coloured Flemish bond brick and a Welsh slate roof. The layout includes a nave, a short chancel, and a south porch. The porch has a Tudor-arched doorway with cusped spandrels, double studded doors, a coped verge to the gable, and pinnacles. On the south side of the nave, there are two 2-light Tudor-arched windows with cusped lights and transoms, along with diagonal buttresses at the corners and coped verges with kneelers. The chancel's south and north sides each have one 2-light Tudor-arched window with cusped lights, and to the east, there is a plain 2-light pointed window, likely restored. The north side of the nave has four 2-light Tudor-arched windows with cusped lights, separated by buttresses. The west end features a 4-light Tudor-arched window, a gilded clock face above it, and a limestone octagonal bellcote with ogee capping and pointed openings.

Inside, the porch has inner double doors with arched panels. The nave boasts a 5-bay roof with vertical struts to the principals from the tie-beam, and cusped bracing at the principals resembling pointed arches. The walls are plain plaster, and there is a blind pointed arch over the door. The west gallery was mostly dismantled in 1951, but the stairs with stick balusters and doors with arched panels remain. Original fittings include an octagonal limestone font at the west end of the nave, a stone altar, and a reredos with traceried panels and an ogee hoodmould over the east window, which has pointed hoodmoulds and attached shafts to niches on either side. The chancel features a polychrome tiled floor, while the pews and choir stalls are late Victorian. Notable stained glass includes windows dedicated to members of the Morrison family of Hamptworth Lodge, with the north and south chancel windows made by Clayton and Bell in 1911, and an unsigned east window from 1895. The remaining windows are diamond leaded. The church was originally founded as a chapel to Downton, with Redlynch being part of the larger Downton parish until 1895.
