The church of St Mary the Virgin at Tilty is delightful, and so is the approach to it from the road. The church was once connected with the nearby Cistercian abbey. The nave of the church is Early English. The south porch is probably 17th century. The belfry and cupola are probably from the 18th century. The chancel was added early in the 14th century which Pevsner describes as "taller, wider and much more ambitious, the gift of a rich man.. It is in the sumptuous style of the moment."
