Saviours, converted from St Saviours, was a chapel of ease for St Mary's in Turville. Originally the building was of brick and flint with a west bellcote. It was converted in the 1970s in a bold and modern fashion, with large cream painted arched dormers in the roof which take reference from windows elsewhere in the conservation area. There is a stained glass window by John Piper in St Mary's Church in Turville village itself commemorating St Saviours.
