Silchester is a village and civil parish in the English county of Hampshire. It is best known for the adjacent archaeological site and Roman town of Calleva Atrebatum, which was first occupied by the Romans in about AD 45 and includes what is thought to be the best-preserved Roman wall in Great Britain.
The medieval parish church of St Mary stands just within the old Roman walled town, probably on the site of a Roman temple. It has a fine rood screen, a canopied pulpit and several minor church monuments.
