St Mary's Church is a Church of England parish churchinBanbury, Oxfordshire in the Diocese of Oxford. The church is a Grade I listed building.[2]

History[edit]

St Mary's Church was built in the 1790s to replace the Medieval one damaged during the English Civil War. The church was designed by Samuel Pepys Cockerell, with a tower and portico added by Charles Robert Cockerell in 1818 to 1822.[2]

The inside of the church was re-ordered in the 1860s and 1870s by the then vicar Henry Back, an Anglo-Catholic, to make it more suitable for Eucharistic worship. He commissioned Arthur Blomfield to oversee the re-ordering and to decorate the church in a Byzantine style.[3] It was during this time that stained-glass windows designed by Robert Turnill Bayne (1837–1915) were added, including one depicting The Parable of the Talents.

Present day[edit]

St Mary's Church stands in the Central tradition of the Church of England.[4] It is a member of Inclusive Church.[5]

From 1993, the church was shared by the Church of England and the United Reformed Church; it was not, however, a Local Ecumenical Partnership.[3][6] This agreement ended by the time of the 2019 vacancy.[5]

The church's Resurrection Chapel is home to one of the 84 Lamps of Brotherhood that were made after World War II as a sign of reconciliation between nations.[7]
