St Mary's Parish Church is a red brick gothic style Church of England parish church in the parish of Upton cum Chalvey in the borough of Slough and the county of Berkshire in England. Built between 1876–8 to a design by John Oldrid Scott and partly funded through a personal donation by Queen Victoria,[1] it was again enlarged in 1911–1913,[2] and is protected as a grade II* listed building.[3] The grounds contain the grade II listed war memorial[4] by the west door of the church, inscribed with over 300 names of the dead from Slough in the First and Second World Wars. The walls and gates of the church yard are also protected grade II listed features.[5] The church is located centrally in the parish, serving the Slough town centre. The church is linked to two schools in the area, Saint Mary's Church of England Primary School,[6] in Upton, and Slough and Eton Church of England Secondary School,[7] in Chalvey. The building regularly plays host to musical concerts, often including accompaniment on the organ[8]
