Church of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a parish church dating primarily to the late 13th century, with a new chancel and restoration work undertaken in 1861. It is constructed of random granite rubble with galletting, and limestone dressings, and features plain tiled roofs with ridge cresting. The church comprises a west tower, a nave with a north aisle, and a chancel.

The four-stage west tower has angle buttresses, one incorporating a worn niche with fleurons. It has embattled parapets, a blocked narrow west doorway, and a Victorian three-light window above, executed in the Decorated style. The bell chamber is lit by paired, foiled lights. The south wall is largely Victorian, incorporating inserted three-light windows with coarse Decorated tracery, and two earlier windows above, seemingly acting as a clerestory - these are single lights with rounded heads. The chancel is entirely Victorian, built with a lower-grade rubble stone. Its east window consists of two pairs of lancets with a quatrefoil above, forming a plate traceried design. The north aisle features late 13th-century style windows of intersecting tracery, although these are 19th-century additions. The north doorway is also Victorian, with slight roll mouldings. The aisle has plinths, buttresses, and a parapet resembling a blind clerestory.

Inside, the nave extends west of a three-bay north arcade, leading to the double-chamfered tower arch, which springs from corbels. The late 13th-century arcade consists of short octagonal shafts with abaci, and double-chamfered arches with outer hoodmoulds decorated with corbel heads. The eastern respond is cut by the chancel wall, indicating the chancel was moved slightly forward during its 1861 rebuilding. The nave roof is supported by tie beams and queen posts with curved bracing. A chamfered arch with a hoodmould defines the chancel arch, flanked by clustered shafts. A shallow arch opens to a late 19th-century vestry to the north of the chancel. Victorian piscinae are located in the north and south walls, designed in an early 14th-century style. A north aisle window features two paired lancets set behind a double-arched recess with a central, freestanding column. The furnishings and fittings all appear to have been added during the 1861 restoration. Fragments of 15th-century glass survive in one north aisle window, depicting small yellow flowers. A window from about 1860 is present in the west wall, and the chancel east and south windows are dated 1847, showcasing scenes from the life of Christ rendered in a medieval style, combined with an abstract backdrop of medallions. Victorian flowers are stenciled around the west tower arch, while texts adorn the north doorway and chancel arch. Traces of other texts and a painted frieze are visible on the south wall, though they are largely perished.
