Description

The Church of St. Mary is a parish church largely dating to the 13th century, with substantial restoration work carried out in 1853 and 1869 by Ewan Christian. It is constructed of dressed coursed rubble and ashlar, with plain tile roofs to most areas, and slate roofs to the aisle and chapel. The church features a tower, nave, north aisle, north chapel, south porch and chancel.

The diagonally buttressed tower, of two stages, has 19th-century battlements. The west wall contains a single arched, two-light window with cusped tracery dating from the 14th century. The bell chamber has four openings, each with two arched lights under a flat arch, along with rectangular stair lights and tie plates, and a clock face on the south side. The north aisle has a three-light arched window in the west wall, and two further arched windows with three lights each in the north wall. The chapel's west wall has a pointed, chamfered arched doorway with a plank door, and a single arched window with cusped tracery in the north wall. The east wall of the chapel contains a two-light arched window with cusped tracery, while the chancel has a three-light arched window with cusped tracery, hood mould and label stops. The south wall of the church features a two-light arched window with cusped tracery, and label stops, alongside a pointed, chamfered arched doorway with a hood mould, worn label stops, and a plank door. To the left of the doorway is a larger, probably re-used 14th-century three-light window with a hood mould and label stops. The nave has two windows each with three arched lights under a flat arch. The gabled and coped porch, set on a chamfered plinth, has a ridge cross and a chamfered arched entrance with a hood mould and label stops, together with an inner moulded arched doorway. To the left of the porch is a similar three-light window.

Inside, the three-bay 19th-century nave arcade has round columns with nailhead capitals on the east side, supported by a single corbel. Double chamfered arches are present throughout. The tower has a double chamfered arch, the inner chamfer supported on round responds with moulded capitals. C19 columns with nailhead capitals support the double chamfered chancel arch. A small arched piscina is set into the south chancel wall. A font of octagonal plan is decorated with fleuron in inset panels. Furniture is of 19th-century date. Projecting from the north wall are brick, slate, wood, and corrugated lean-tos.
