The church is well used and apart from religious services is a venue for regular lunch time concerts and coral performances. It is open every day and there is a coffee shop which provides refreshments at very reasonable prices.
Good entertainment.
The church is one of the most recognisable sights of Aylesbury; its ornate clock tower dominates the skyline. The church is currently a Grade I listed building as it is a building of exceptional interest. The tower contains a clock (1690s) and is topped by a Restoration-period spire, reaching 121 feet (37 m).
The churchyard of St Mary’s appears to have been much bigger in the Late Saxon and medieval periods. Skeletons have been found at 12 Church Street in a water main trench and in the cellars of 14 Temple Square and 2 St Mary’s Square. Documentary evidence suggests that St Mary’s was the site of a late Saxon minster. Other documentary evidence suggests there was an 11th Century mint based here under Edward the Confessor.
