Description
The Church of St Mary is a Grade II* listed building, dating from the 14th and 15th centuries, and heavily restored in the 19th century. It is constructed of ashlar and brick, with a plain tile roof. The church features a three-bay aisled nave, a north vestry, and a south porch, along with a two-bay chancel.
On the west front, there is a three-light pointed window with Perpendicular tracery, and above it, a two-light bellcote. The south side of the nave includes a 19th-century porch with a pointed doorway leading to the central bay. To the left, there is a single-light trefoil-cusped square-headed window, with a similar pair to the right and a small square-headed window at the extreme right. The north side of the nave has a vestry in the central bay, with trefoil-cusped square-headed windows throughout.
The chancel features a 19th-century boiler house and a three-light trefoiled square-headed window on the north side. The south side has a 19th-century organ chamber that projects forward and contains two small lancets flanked by pairs of narrow trefoil-cusped square-headed windows. The east end has a 19th-century three-light window with Perpendicular tracery.
Inside, there is a double chamfered arcade supported by octagonal columns. A notable monument in the chancel commemorates Elizabeth Godfrey, who died in 1766, featuring a marble plaque with a cherub's head below and a Greek key frieze above, supporting a damaged pediment. There is also a graveslab set into the nave floor for George Empson, who died in 1677, which has a richly carved border and fine lettering with the Empson arms below, as well as a plain slab for William Godfrey, who died in 1782.
