Church Of St Mary And House Adjoining

The Church of St Mary and the adjoining house were built between 1833 and 1834 by William Flint of Leicester. The church is constructed of stucco and originally featured a chancel, which is now part of the larger church that was expanded in the 1920s with a five-bay nave added to the south. The church has a prominent south portico supported by four massive columns, with aisle windows framed in lugged architraves. Above the central door, there is a ceramic panel depicting the Annunciation. Inside, the original church has a ceiling with coved sides that rise from a cornice, and a west gallery with an iron railing decorated with palmettes. The interior has 20th-century fittings. The house to the west is two stories tall, double-fronted, and features a three-window range. It has giant pilasters that support an entablature, along with lugged architraves and bracketed cills. The doorcase is pilastered and includes a rectangular fanlight above a six-panelled door, of which two panels are now glazed. The house has 20th-century casement windows.
