St.Mary's is a living church where God has been worshipped for some 800 years. The present church was built following the Norman Conquest and successive generations have enriched the building and its contents, as an expression of both piety and local pride- most notably the Parker family of Ratton Manor whose memorials are to be found in the Ratton chapel.
