St Mary's is Weston Turville's Parish Church - mainly 13th and 14th century, with 15th century tower and roofs.

As well as an enthusiastic CHOIR, affiliated to the Royal School of Church Music, with members aged from 7 upwards, there are events for children every 2nd Sunday (FOOTSTEPPERS for 5-8 year olds, is a modern equivalent to Sunday School and takes place in the School Hall), and 3RD SUNDAY SPECIAL is for families with very young children (in Church). On Wednesday afternoons, children aged 8-11 join the EXPLORERS club in Church to explore Bible stories. Those aged 12+ can also join THE FRINGE which meets first and third Sunday's at 19:00 (usually in the Chapel Hall).

JIGSAW our annual Christian summer holiday activity week in July, invites all children of primary school age in Weston Turville, to this event which takes place in the village school, and involves more than 100 adult and teenage helpers from the community.

On the first Tuesday of the month, residents of Oakmead House, provide coffee and other refreshments, in the church from 11-12.

Our Rector is Father David Wales, and the Assistant Priest and Director of Music is Revd. Susan Fellows. Bill Spear is Deputy Organist. The Captain of Bells, Brian Robson, leads a team who ring a recently augmented peal of six bells.

The parish and clergy of Weston Turville play an active part within the Wendover Deanery, and Oxford Diocese, and enjoy occasional links with St Frideswide's at Water Eaton, near Bletchley.
