St Mary's Church, Amersham, Medieval church in Old Amersham, England

St Mary's Church features English Gothic architecture with a central nave, side aisles, and a prominent bell tower rising above the town center.

The church structure dates from 1250, with modifications during the 14th and 15th centuries expanding its original layout and architectural elements.

Within the church walls, multiple memorials honor the Drake family members, who maintained strong connections to the parish since the 17th century.

The church building opens daily for visitors and conducts regular Anglican services, with additional celebrations for weddings and community gatherings.

The churchyard contains the remains of Ruth Ellis, relocated here under the name Ruth Hornby, marking the final resting place of the last woman executed in Britain.
