An impressive railed chest tomb in the churchyard. The Anglican parish church of St Mary was rebuilt in 1864 with only fragments remaining of the original 13th century building. In a Gothic Revival style, the church is constructed of squared, snecked rubble stone under a plain tile roof. The church is unusual in having an octagonal broach spire. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1319357 Datchet is a village on the north bank of the River Thames in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in Berkshire, about 1¼ miles east of Windsor. There is evidence of continuous occupation since the end of the last ice age. The village developed because of the ferry service which connected it to the main London Road across the River Thames. Now a pleasant commuter village with Waterloo station only 54 minutes away.
