St Mary and All Saints Church is in the centre of the village of Great Budworth, Cheshire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Great Budworth.[1] The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.[2] Clifton-Taylor includes it in his list of 'best' English parish churches.[3] Richards describes it as "one of the finest examples of ecclesiastical architecture remaining in Cheshire".[4] The authors of the Buildings of England series express the opinion that it is "one of the most satisfactory Perpendicular churches of Cheshire and its setting brings its qualities out to perfection".[5]
