There are several interesting buildings in Wraysbury but very few are nationally listed. This is one of the interesting and surprisingly unlisted ones, a nicely proportioned Victorian church with a fine separate tower, and, on close inspection, both with a lot of intricate and pleasing detail. Up to and including the map of 1920 the Ordnance Survey spelt Wraysbury as Wyrardisbury, both as the name of the village and as the name of the civil parish. For a while in the 1930s the OS offered both spellings until eventually the modern day one only was accepted.
