Description
The Church of St Mary is a parish church dating to 1841, designed by Briggs. A later 19th-century vestry was added in a matching style and materials. In 1879, the west gallery was removed and the interior fittings were renewed. The church is constructed of white brick in English bond, with ashlar dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof. It is built in the Gothic Revival style.
The church comprises a west tower, a three-bay nave, and a single-bay chancel/sacristy with a vestry adjoining the north side. The west tower has a tall first stage with diagonal buttresses and offsets. A Tudor-arched, hollow-chamfered south door has foliate carvings to the spandrels, a hoodmould, and head stops. There is a lancet window to the west, with a hoodmould, and single, narrow lancets to the north and south of this stage. Above, the belfry is octagonal with alternate blind lancets and lancet openings with hoodmoulds and wooden louvres; a clock face is present to the west. The tower is topped with a coped embattled parapet and an octagonal spire with an ashlar finial and a wrought-iron weather vane.
The nave has thin diagonal buttresses and buttresses between bays, which rise to coped piers above the parapet. Pointed, two-light Y-traceried windows with hoodmoulds are a prominent feature. The chancel/sacristy has angle buttresses, a pointed traceried north lancet, a south lancet, and a triple-traceried lancet to the east. The sacristy has similar twin lancets to the east. A moulded string course and a coped embattled parapet complete the exterior. The vestry is distinguished by a four-centred arch door and a lancet window to the east, both under a coped embattled parapet and with a hipped roof.
Inside, the nave has a pointed, chamfered door and a pointed, chamfered chancel arch with a hoodmould. A vaulted roof covers the sanctuary. A six-bay ceiled nave roof features plain corbelled tie beams. Other features include a marble wall tablet dating to 1839, a 19th-century octagonal font, reset fragments of early, possibly medieval, stained glass to the north, 19th-century stained glass to the south, and stained glass by Thomas Ward of London to the east.
