Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a parish church dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries. The clerestory was added in the 15th century, and the chancel was rebuilt in the 15th century. It was restored in 1881, and the north wall of the north aisle was rebuilt in 1903. The church is constructed of coursed squared ironstone with limestone dressings and lead roofs.

The building comprises a chancel, an aisled nave, and a west tower. The two-bay chancel has a three-light east window with renewed Perpendicular-style tracery and a hood mould with canopies, each end supporting 20th-century figures on brackets. There are no windows on the north side, but a blocked priest's door remains with a hood mould. The south side features two-light windows with Perpendicular tracery, the southwest window being renewed. The nave has a three-window clerestory of two-light windows with straight heads and hood moulds. The aisles have two-light windows to the north and south with Decorated-style tracery, dating from the 1881 restoration or the early 20th century. The north aisle has small lancet windows at either end, the west window having a hood mould.

The three-stage tower has a chamfered west door with a hood mould, above which is a two-light window with deep hollow-chamfered splay, late 19th or early 20th century Decorated-style tracery and hood mould. The bell chamber has two-light openings with cinquefoil-headed lights and quatrefoil heads, also with hood moulds. The tower is topped with a battleated parapet, featuring a quatrefoiled lozenge frieze, helm gargoyles, and panelled and crocketed pinnacles to the angles, with offset angle buttresses.

Inside the church, the chancel has a tiled sanctuary. A double-chamfered chancel arch has semi-circular responds with thin swags and nail-head decoration on the capitals. A similar capital is present on the west respond of the south arcade. The three-bay arcades have octagonal piers to the north and polygonal responds, circular piers to the south, and keeled responds with moulded capitals. A 17th-century communion table features arcaded fluting to the front and turned legs. There are also Hanoverian Royal Arms painted on canvas. A curved stone fragment, possibly Saxon, with interlace work, is found in the vestry. A small panel on the south wall of the south aisle, dating to the 13th century, depicts a lamb and flag. A wall monument with an inscription on an open book of white marble set on a raised grey marble ground commemorates Rev. John Morres (d.1830) and other family members, and is signed E. Gaffin, Regent Street, London.
