Description

The Church of St Mary is a church that dates back to the 13th and 14th centuries, with extensions made in 1852 by W Parsons and further alterations and extensions by Walter F Lyon in 1881-82. It is constructed from random rubble stone with dressed quoins, featuring gable parapets and crenellated side parapets on the nave, and has plain slate roofs. The church includes a west tower, a nave with a south porch, a north aisle, a north vestry, and a chancel.

The three-stage tower, dating from the 13th or 14th century, has stepped angle buttresses and a deep recess on the north side that features a Perpendicular-style panelled soffit and a hollow-chamfered arch. It has a short recessed spire and two-light square-headed belfry openings. The nave has three windows on the south side from the 14th century, which were restored in the 19th century. The north aisle was added in 1881-82, and the gabled south porch has double chamfers to the arch and a dripmould. The chancel was rebuilt in 1881-82 and includes two windows on the south side and a vestry on the north side.

Inside, there is a double chamfered 14th-century tower arch and a three-bay north aisle with a double-chamfered arcade supported by octagonal piers. The ceiling, likely from the 19th century, features ribs and a flattish vault. The chancel arch, also from the 19th century, is double-chamfered on attached octagonal piers. There is a triple-chamfered round arch inside the tower, west of the tower arch, the purpose of which is unknown. The church fittings, including benches, a font, and a pulpit, are all from the 19th century.
