St Mary's Church (Turville)

 church, movie / film / TV location, Grade II* Listed (UK)
Grade II* Listed Building in Turville, which was used for the setting of St Barnabus in the BBC television sitcom of The Vicar of Dibley.
The first known church building dates from the 12th century. The church is built principally of flint, the only available material in chalk country in the Middle Ages.  The corners of the building have been shaped from limestone or “clunch” a chalk and clay mixture found locally at Watlington. The oldest part is the nave, early 12th century. Rebuilding of the church in 1340 included the present tower and an enlargement of the chancel.  The tower is squat in comparison to its massive proportions and is topped with brick. Further rebuilding in 1733 saw the addition of a north aisle.
