Description
The Church of St Mary is a Gothic Revival church built between 1850 and 1851 by John Dobson of Leeds. It features hammer dressed stone with ashlar dressings and a stone slate roof. The church has a northwest tower, a four-bay nave with lean-to buttressed aisles, and no clerestory. There is a two-bay chancel, a south transept, and a south porch. The aisle windows are three-light with curvilinear tracery. The east window has five lights, while the west window has four lights, both featuring curvilinear tracery and four quatrefoils in the head. The three-tier west tower has diagonal buttressing and a round clock face on three sides. The bell chamber includes large three-light louvred and traceried openings, and the tower is topped with an openwork parapet and tall crocketted pinnacles supported by corbel brackets with figure heads and beasts, along with gargoyles.
Inside, there is a six-bay arcade of double chamfered arches on octagonal piers. The chancel arch is moulded and rests on clustered piers with capitals carved into angel figures. The carved stone reredos features crocketted heads and pinnacles with crests, and there is also a carved stone font. The roof is supported by arched braced trusses.
