Summary Description

The Church of St Mary-le-More has stood in a central position in the market place of Wallingford for nearly a millennium. It is believed to occupy the site of the first Christian church in the area, and possibly that of an earlier pre-Christian temple. The patronage of the church belonged from an early date to the Abbey of St Alban’s then in 1506 passed to the Crown and in 1853 to the Bishop of Oxford. The Norman church was rebuilt at the end of the 13th century and then largely reconstructed in 1854 when the nave was lengthened by shortening the chancel and the three arches on each side replaced two wider ones.
