Description
The Church of St. Mary is a parish church built in 1802, featuring a late 19th-century chancel and a west bay with a bell turret. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar and rough-faced, random coursed sandstone for the chancel and vestry, topped with slate roofs and verge parapets. The church comprises a west bell turret bay, nave, transepts, chancel, and vestry.
The bell turret is an interesting addition, narrower than the nave, with a roof set lower than the nave from which the turret rises. The turret has a short square section that transitions into an octagonal bell chamber capped with a pyramidal roof. Each face of the octagon features Tudor arch openings. Below the turret, the west face has two lancet windows and a Tudor-arch west door.
The nave consists of two bays and has diagonal buttresses at the west end, with Tudor-arch two-light windows. The transepts at the east end of the nave are gabled, featuring diagonal buttresses and pointed windows. The chancel, which has a similar ridge height to the nave but lower eaves, contains two bays with pointed, labelled, trefoil-headed windows and a three-light east window. Additionally, there is a pointed priest's door on the south side and a low gabled vestry on the north.
