Church Of St Mary

The Church of St. Mary is a Grade II listed building constructed between 1896 and 1914, designed by the architectural firm Hadfield and Garland of Sheffield. It is built from deeply-coursed dressed sandstone, with some contrasting limestone and sandstone dressings, and features a tile roof. The church is oriented from north-east to south-west, following the traditional ritual orientation.

The structure includes a west tower with a north porch, a 6-bay aisled nave, and a 3-bay chancel that has a south vestry and a 2-storey organ chamber to the north. It is designed in the Perpendicular Gothic Revival style, characterized by a massive and simpler tower. The west tower features a chamfered plinth and a moulded band along its full-height angle buttresses, a tall 4-light west window, a south-east vice, and a simple pinnacled parapet added around 1960. The north porch has a red and white chequered panel above the door.

The nave includes a chamfered and wave-moulded plinth on the south side, buttresses at the bay divisions, and an embattled south porch at bay 3. The aisle has 3-light square-headed windows, while the clerestory features 4-light arched-headed windows with hoodmoulds. The roll-moulded parapet and gable copings are notable, along with an east sanctus bellcote that has 2 octagonal turrets. The chancel is lower and has a chamfered plinth and a string course beneath its 2- and 3-light windows, with hoodmoulds beneath the parapet. The east window contains 5 lights, and there is a matching smaller window in the organ chamber.

Inside, the church features a pointed-arch arcade with hoodmoulds and an octagonal stone pulpit with crinoidal limestone coping, both in the Gothic Revival style. Some remnants of an earlier medieval church are present, including a 12th-century scalloped capital in the nave's west wall and a 15th-century piscina located in the chancel at the south-east end.
