Chapel and chancel (13th century), the steeple (14th century), and vestry (17th century). The 17th-century Jacobean pulpit is an unusual heptagonal design. Various additions were made to the structure in the 14th and 15th centuries, primarily to the walls and ogee windows. A scratch dial was added to the south-west buttress in the 14th century. The church features architecture by Edward Doran Webb and stained glass by Charles Eamer Kempe. The Forster Chapel, a lady chapel added to the south face in the 13th century, contains the alabaster effigial monument of Sir George Forster and his wife Elizabeth which was built in 1530. Evidence suggests that the chapel may originally have been a chantry dedicated to St Nicholas. The roundel windows in the north wall date from the 13th century and are the oldest glass in Berkshire. The tower has a peal of eight bells dating from 1681 to 1900. The current organ, which has 16 stops, was installed in 1880. Individuals buried in the churchyard include squires Charles Keyser (1847–1929) and Daniel Burr (c.1811–1885), schoolmaster John Stair (c.1745–1820), and Maria Hale (1791–1879). Sport Aldermaston has a number of sports teams. The village cricket team, Aldermaston Village CC, play at nearby Wasing Park. The club, which first played in 1786 as "The Gentlemen of Aldermaston", originally played at a pitch at Aldermaston Court. The ground was lost when the airfield was built. Sir William Mount, 2nd Baronet, the grandfather of British Prime Minister David Cameron, allowed a cricket pitch to be established on a portion of his Wasing estate. The original football club played next to the cricket pitch. The club's strip was sponsored by George L Heighton, the proprietor of the village shop. Aldermaston Rugby Club and A.F.C. Aldermaston both play their home games at the Recreational Society at AWE. Tadley RFC is in the parish, about from the village. Aldermaston Raceway, a banger racing and stock car venue, was located in the parish. A course for off-road 4x4 trials]] is close to the raceway.
