The parish church is dedicated to St Mary and the Holy Cross. It is a 14th century building of the style of gothic architecture known as Decorated. The west tower was built later in the 15th century. The church contains many memorial brasses and sculptures, including the tomb of Thomas Stayner of 1689, the stone effigies depict the deceased lying in full armour, while his widow rests beside him, half sitting regarding her husband. In the chancel are a reredos and sedilia by William White who was responsible for the heavy Victorian restoration and rebuilding of the chancel in 1877. The church also contains Victorian stained glass windows.
One of the most visible buildings is the 70ft high Quainton Windmill, built in 183032. Derelict for the greater part of the 20th century it was restored in 1997 and can now grind wheat into flour. Quainton was once linked to London by train to Marylebone and Baker Street. Public services ceased in 1964, but trains from Aylesbury run to connect with events at the Railway Museum at Quainton Road railway station on some Bank Holidays. The station was also once a junction for the light railway.
Buckinghamshire Railway Centre is a working steam museum in Quainton, where you can step back in time as you view the giants of the steam age displayed on a spacious 25 acre site. Exhibits range from express passenger locomotives to the humble shunting engine. Carriages include a dining car from the royal train of 1901 as well as another reputedly used by General Eisenhower and Winston Churchill amongst others for wartime planning meetings. Smaller items are not forgotten with many exhibits providing a snapshot of how the coming of the railways changed the way of life of the entire country.
