St Mary's was built in 1867 beside Westcott village green. It was designed by the famous Victorian architect G.E. Street, who later designed the Law Courts in the Strand.
Although the exterior is of stone, the interior is of rose coloured brick. The furnishings in this Grade 2* listed church were also designed by Street. Sir Nicholas Pevsner, the eminent church historian, described Street's church as follows: 'Easily his best work in the county. Very austere.'
The present church, along with the primary school next door, were given to Westcott by the last Duke of Buckingham and Chandos.
