Description
The Church of St Mary is a Gothic Revival church built in 1870, constructed from dressed stone and featuring a pitched slate roof. The church has a 4-bay buttressed nave with a porch on the right and an apsidal baptistry on the left, along with transepts. The nave windows are 2-light with stained glass and cusped heads, each topped with a single quatrefoil. Each bay includes a relieving arch, and the front of the church is apsidal. The rear elevation facing the road has a central triple group of very tall lights with a sexfoil in the head, flanked by 2-light windows with quatrefoils. The central doorway features a pointed arch with a cambered head.
Inside, the church has a plain but colorful interior. The apsidal chancel is designed as a blind arcade filled with mosaic, above which are nine paired 2-light stained glass clerestory windows. The chancel arch is adorned with two carved figures. There are chapels on the left and right, separated by a two-bay arcade. A later gallery is located at the rear, below which is a glass screen forming a vestibule. The roof features arched braced hammer beams.
