Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a Grade II* listed building dating from the 16th century, located on the site of an earlier church, with records of rectors since 1301. The tower likely contains earlier work, while the Leche chapel was added in 1659. A significant rebuild was carried out by J. Douglas between 1877 and 1879, which included a new chancel, vestry, and nave roof. The church is constructed of red sandstone and features a steeply pitched tile roof.

The layout includes a nave, chancel, west tower, north doorway, chapel, and vestry. The three-bay nave has deeply recessed three-light mullion windows with Perpendicular hood moulds situated between stepped buttresses with splayed plinths. There are Perpendicular hood moulds above the north and blocked south doorways, and a sundial is located on the south-west buttress. The embattled tower has stepped corner buttresses, a low-pitched early Tudor west doorway with a hood mould, and a blocked south doorway. It also features a deeply recessed pointed window with reticulated tracery and bell openings, along with a canopied niche above the west doorway and figure stops to the hood moulds, as well as figure gargoyles.

Inside, there is a beam inscribed "PW (ARBURTON) 1618 AW (ARBURTON)" and reused Elizabethan coffering in the chancel. The nave roof features scissor trusses designed by J. Douglas. The altar rail and gate, dated 1677, are made of slat balusters, and the altar table, which has been altered, is also dated 1677. There is an early Georgian octagonal pulpit from the 18th century. Most of the stained glass is from the 19th century, with some early medieval painted glass present.
