Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is an Anglican church built in 1845, with additions made in 1880 and 1885. It was designed by Joseph Mitchell, an architect from Sheffield, with extensions by his son, J.B. Mitchell-Withers, also an architect of Sheffield. The church is constructed in a Neo-Romanesque style, using ashlar gritstone and rock-faced coursed gritstone, with a Welsh slated roof. The plan follows a simple linear design, incorporating a west tower, a nave with a vestry extension to the north, and a sanctuary to the east, with a parish room located beneath the sanctuary.

The tower is a narrow, three-stage structure with clasping buttresses on the first stage, featuring a semi-circular arched doorway with two orders of attached shafts, cushion capitals, and a moulded arch decorated with billet and beakhead ornament. Above the doorway is a panel of blind intersecting arcading, and a clock face is positioned higher up. The second stage has three lancet windows with semi-circular heads, while the bell stage exhibits a wide semicircular arch containing a two-light window. The roof is a shallow pyramid with stepped ashlar stonework. Nave gables feature ashlar dog-tooth decoration along the verges. The north side features a single semi-circular lancet window in each bay, flanked by attached shafts with cushion capitals and hood moulds with grotesque head stops. A substantial cill band runs along this side. The gabled vestry extension to the north, situated at the junction of the nave and sanctuary, has a tall octagonal chimney and door and window openings with moulded surrounds. The south side mirrors the north, with a buttress marking the junction of the nave and sanctuary. A change in ground level accommodates the basement parish room, with the sanctuary above. The east gable features a three-light window set within a tall, wide semi-circular arch recess with a moulded surround.

The interior has undergone several changes, most notably the stained glass in the east window, designed by Burne-Jones and crafted by Morris and Co in 1891. It commemorates Joseph Taylor, a local benefactor.
