St Mary the Virgin Church, Turville

The nave of the church is the oldest surviving part, dating from the early 12th century.

Two armorial glass windows in the south wall commemorate the connection of the Parry family with the church.

[3] The church was restored on numerous occasions, notably in 1875 when the chancel floor was raised, in 1901 when the vestry was constructed, in 1972 when the roof was repaired and, in 1996 with the new bell-frame and re-tuned peal.

The 1901 restoration uncovered a stone coffin containing two skeletons, one dating from the 16th century which had a hole in the skull, indicating a possible murder victim.

It was also used in the sitcom The Vicar of Dibley, where it was used as the parish church named St Barnabas' (sic).
