Description
The Church of St Mary is a redundant church that dates back to the medieval period but was largely rebuilt in 1860. It is constructed mainly of rubble, with mid-19th century dressed limestone quoins, window and door surrounds, and a Welsh slate roof. The church features a continuous, aisleless four-bay nave and chancel. The design reflects the Early English style, with lancet windows that have alternating jambs, chamfered reveals, and pointed hoodmoulds. The west end showcases tooled-and-margined quoins and paired lancets, along with a round-arched open stone bellcote on the west gable. The south wall includes a 19th-century boarded door in a moulded pointed arch under a hoodmould, along with three lancets to the east. The north wall has two lancets, and four blocked round arches were discovered during the 1860 reconstruction. The east end features a group of three stepped lancets, and the roof has slightly swept eaves. Inside, there is an octagonal stone font and five roof trusses with arch-braced collars.
