The parish church of Saint Birinus at Morgan's Vale was built as a chapel of ease to Downton in 1894-96.[2] It is a red brick Gothic Revival building with stone dressings[2] and Perpendicular Gothic style windows.[4] It was designed by the Gothic Revival architect C. E. Ponting[2] of Marlborough in the style of his architectural contemporary W. D. Caroe.[4]
