Absolutely beautiful historic survivor of national importance to be treasured. Located in an idyllic spot to contemplate the history and people associated with its past. My absolute favourite and if you read about this church you’ll understand why.

A small church but with exquisite detail in the pre-reformation brasses, stone carvings, alabaster effigy of Chaucer's granddaughter, beautiful detail carving in an enormous font cover. Apparently a local grandee stopped Henry VIII's thugs destroying what was in the church - lucky for us! Well worth visiting even though it is out of the way. There are pretty almshouses attached around whose courtyards you can wander. Visit the Village shop and tea rooms nearby for a good range of cakes with your tea/coffee.

I love to wonder around local churches, and this one is stunning, the stonework is pretty and the grounds well kept. Inside is airy and bright. Very nice church

A very old village church with a link to the Chaucer family. We enjoyed visiting the church and wandering through the graveyard, both around the church and the other across the road. But the surprise was the beautiful cloisters surrounded by the almshouses. The school is also part of this complex of medieval buildings. The Duchess of Suffolk, Alice Chaucer, granddaughter of the poet Geoffrey Chaucer, built and founded Ewelme School in 1437 (according to the school website) and a primary school still exists there.

The church of St Mary, Ewelme is chiefly notable as the burial place of Alice Chaucer, Duchess of Suffolk (d. 1465), Geooftey Chaucer's granddaughter, who built the medieval almshouses which adjoin the church -- there are steps up from the almshouse leading to a passageway that connects with the west door of the church. The church is largely fifteenth century and there is a very fine angel roof to the St John the Baptist chapel which served as Alice Chaucer's chantry. The chapel walls are painted with the sacred IHS monogram -- Alice Chaucer had a particular devotion to the holy name of Jesus. There is a lot of good carving in the church and a number of late medieval brass memorials. The tomb of Alice is a transi-tomb -- there is a figure of Alice as a decaying corpse lying below the main effigy of Alice as in life. Angels bearing family arms line the sides of the tomb.

So much to see in a this glorious church. It has a magnificent alabaster tomb and memorial to Geoffrey Chaucer's granddaughter, Alice de Pole who became the Duchess of Suffolk. There's a fascinating chart showing the evolution of her family coat of arms. The carved wooden font cover is a wonder, absolutely beautiful. The wall frescoes in the side chapel and above the alabaster memorial create a true impression of the age of the church. The wooden ceiling is decorated with angels. Outside, the churchyard is full of interesting tombstones. Linked to the church are a row of mediaeval Almshouses, which are worth the visit alone.

We happened by Ewelme whilst visiting Wallingford (worth a visit too). It is a lovely old church, beautiful stained glass and there is a cloister of alms houses attached, not to be missed. Worth a detour.

There are lots to see both inside and outside - the known famous items that will have first attracted you here but also lots, lots more. You can also make a short walk of it into the village.

You don't have to have any religious faith to appreciate this marvellous old church. It's quite simply stunning for all its history, its almshouses and its situation in a beautiful old village.
If you're in the area, don't miss it!

Is the church open every day & what are the hours?

suggest you google up St Mary The Virgin Ewelme where you will find plenty of info, including vicar's details

Can you walk from Wallingford to this church?
Rédigé le 13 juillet 2017
You can - but it's a good four to five miles! there is a bus service from Wallingford to Ewelme every half hour. Get off at Green Lane and it's a ten minute walk at the other end of the village

The photographs are misleading they are not of Ewelme Church.
They are Oxford.

My husband has walking difficulties - are their steps up to reception or can you walk straight in then is it a long walk to the lift from reception.
Rédigé le 16 janvier 2015
There is a walk to the entrance of EWELME St. Mary's Church and then two steps down into the church. There are about 12 steps down if you want to go to the cloisters.
Photos shown on this page currently are of Oxford and NOT Ewelme
