The church is set back from the High Street in the old village of Bushey, behind a village green and a pond.

In a small, wooded churchyard adjoining Preston Manor, this simple 13th century flint church makes a pleasing medieval contrast with its suburban surroundings.

A remarkable building with wonderful stained glass depicting many events in the life of Christ.

One of the glories of the church is a complete series of stained glass windows designed by AWN Pugin.

Architectural merits and a splendid and original period interior, including a fine and complete collection of late 19th and 20th century stained glass.

St Marcella was the site of a holy well where Marcella, of Celtic descent, offered meditation and simple refuge for travellers around 900 years ago.

The creation of this outstanding late Victorian gothic church was made possible by its patron the local brewer Pickering Phipps, the local architect Matthew Henry Holding and its first incumbent Revd JR Hussey.

Sit, reflect and pray as you watch the light filtering through the stunning medieval stained glass, dappling the interior of the church with an atmosphere you'll find it hard to forget.

A lovely austere and simple church with high quality detail of the emerging Arts & Crafts movement.
