Description

The Church of St. Mary is a parish church that was rebuilt around 1852 on the site of an earlier church. It is constructed from coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and features tiled roofs with ashlar coped gables and two ridge crosses. The building includes a tower, nave, north aisle, south porch, and chancel, all set on a plinth.

The tower is angle buttressed and has a single lancet window on the first floor to the south and another single lancet window on the ground floor to the west. The bell chamber has four pairs of lancets, with the eastern pair featuring a hood mould decorated with cable design, and an ashlar string course running beneath. The tower is topped with an ashlar cornice that has dogtooth decoration.

The north aisle has a single lancet window on its west wall and three lancet windows along its length. The chancel's north wall features an arched doorway and a single lancet window, while the east end has a triple lancet window, with the center lancet being taller. The south wall of the chancel contains two pairs of lancets. The buttressed south nave has a double lancet window. The south porch, which is coped and gabled with a ridge cross, includes a central doorway with jambs and imposts that support an ashlar arch, topped with a hood mould. The east wall of the porch has a single lancet window, and there is another single lancet window in the aisle west of the porch. The interior porch doorway is arched.

Inside, the nave and north aisle are divided by an arcade of three bays featuring octagonal piers with moulded capitals that support chamfered arches. There are chamfered arches separating the nave from the tower and the nave from the chancel. To the east of the south porch door, there are four carved heads. The chancel has an arched doorway in its north wall and a piscina to the south. The pews, lectern, pulpit, and font are from the 19th century. The nave is equipped with three metal lamp brackets for paraffin, along with two similar lights for the pulpit and lectern.
