Church of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a parish church built in 1873 by Cory and Ferguson. It is constructed of snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a purple slate roof. The church is designed in the Early English style and has a projecting west bellcote topped with a spirelet. The building consists of an aisleless nave and a chancel with a south vestry.

On the west end of the nave, there are two buttresses with offsets that support the corbelled-out bellcote, which has trefoil-headed bell openings beneath pointed hoodmoulds. Between the buttresses, there is a small projecting bay that contains a lancet window and a pent roof. The bellcote is topped with a steep pyramidal spirelet adorned with two rows of fish-scale tiles.

The nave has three bays and is buttressed. On the south side, there is a projecting porch bay at the west with a double-chamfered pointed archway, along with two lancets and a pair of lancets to the east. The north side features similar windows. The chancel is taller and narrower, with two bays and buttresses, single lancets on the north and south sides, and three stepped lancets on the angle-buttressed east end.

The roof over the nave and chancel is steeply pitched and has coped gables. The gabled vestry includes a two-light plate-tracery window on the south and a pointed doorway on the west return. There is an extruded bay on the west of the vestry that has a pointed doorway and a pent roof. Inside, the church has a plain plastered interior with iron altar rails featuring scrollwork and foliage. There is a double-chamfered pointed arch and a shouldered doorway leading into the vestry, and the nave and chancel both have wagon roofs.
