Description
The Church of St. Mary is a former parish church that now serves as a chapel-of-ease. The chancel dates from the 16th century, while the rest of the building was rebuilt in 1775. It is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and features a plain tile roof with coped verges. The church is designed in a Gothic style, with a three-bay nave that includes a south porch and a two-bay chancel.
The nave has pointed windows with lead latticework, a pointed west window with decorative glazing bars, a small round-headed window in the gable, and an open gabled belfry at the apex. The gabled porch has a pointed entrance arch leading to a pointed south door, coped verges on shaped kneelers, and a finial at the apex, along with a blind circular panel above the porch.
On the chancel's south side, there is a two-light hollow chamfered mullion window to the right with a rebated frame, a small round-headed window to the left, and a central door with a Tudor arch. The north side features a two-light hollow chamfered mullion window to the right, while the east window consists of three segment-headed lights under a straight hood mould.
Inside, the chancel roof has an arch-braced cambered tie beam with a later king post above. There is also an early 19th-century wooden pulpit with lancet panels and colonettes.
