Church of St Mary the Virgin

The Church of St Mary the Virgin is a Benedictine Priory church that now serves as a Parish Church. It dates back to around 1155, with additions from the 13th and 16th centuries. The church was restored in 1890, possibly by C. Hodgson-Fowler. It is constructed of rubble and ashlar sandstone and features a plain tile roof. The building includes a north-west tower, a nave, a north aisle, and a chancel. A blocked Norman chancel arch marks the east end, with a large round arch to the north. The tower, which likely dates from the late 13th century, serves as a porch on the northwest side. The south transept was replaced by a 16th-century house built by Charles Foxe after the Dissolution, but this was destroyed by fire in the late 17th century, leaving only fragmentary remains with mullion and transom windows.

Inside, there is a painted plaster ceiling from around 1672 by Thomas Francis, featuring angels with scrolls, the Symbol of the Trinity, and clouds. A communion rail from around 1700 is notable for its heavy twisted balusters. The church also contains stained glass by Kempe in the west window and north aisle, along with 16th-century Flemish roundels in the vestry.
