The present Anglican parish church of St. Mary the Virgin in the south Berkshire village of Stratfield Mortimer was built between September 1866 and July 1869 to replace a smaller, medieval building on the same site.Sponsored and paid for by Richard Benyon II of Englefield House, it was designed by Richard Armstrong Snr of London, and built by William Rhind, a young Scot, acting as Clerk of Works with the resources of the Englefield Estate at his disposal. A series of 150 detailed weekly returns by Rhindto Benyon shows that more than 340 named bricklayers, stonewallers, labourers, stonemasons and carpenters were employed at one time or another at St. Mary's.For much of the three-year period of building 40-45 men, lads and boys were present at the site.Their trades, daily rates and weekly wages are known in detail, together with the general progress of construction.It is apparent from Census Returns that the great majority of these workers were on the tramp, either living in benders or in some cases lodging in the village.They substantially increased the male working population of the village, and had a significant economic and social impact.The direct cost of St Mary's was almost £10,000, but the true cost was substantially more, as Rhind did not pay for aggregate, bricks, scaffolding, cartage and such machinery as a steam traction-engine.As the receAted bills accompanying Rhind's returns demonstrate, the Great Western Railway Company, with a station and goodsyard at Mortimer, was crucial to the construction of St. Mary's. The church was built at the height of the Victorian church-building boom during a period of confidence and prosperity for many.In general design, it was modelled on the previous medieval building, but otherwise largely complied with ecclesiological taste.The sturdy tower, with an almost fortified look, combines with the spire make the church a conspicuous landmark, which Pevsner was happy to call stately.

Mortimer railway station is a railway station in the village of Stratfield Mortimer in the county of Berkshire in England. The station is notable for its well preserved Brunel designed Great Western Railway station buildings. These are still in day to day use, and the station is served by local services operated by First Great Western. The station was opened in 1848, along with the Reading to Basingstoke railway line, and both it, and the station buildings, have been in continuous use ever since.
