Description
Saint Mary the Virgin is an Anglican church built in 1863, with a vestry added in 1900. It is constructed from English bond red brick with stone dressings and features gable-ended roofs made of Welsh slate, accented with bands of lighter slates and crested ridge tiles. The church has a high Victorian Gothic style and includes a nave with a bellcote over the west end, a chancel, and a south porch, with the vestry located on the north side of the nave.
The exterior of the nave showcases three-light stone Perpendicular windows set in chamfered brick openings with two-centred arches and a continuous cill course. There are buttresses with weathered set-offs, two cusp-head lancets in the west gable, and a circular window above featuring a stone quatrefoil. The gable is topped with a gabled bellcote that also has weathered set-offs. The chancel features a circular east window with sexfoil stone tracery and lancets on both the north and south sides. A raised stringcourse runs along the east and west ends of the church, and a small cast-iron lona cross is positioned over the east gable of the chancel. The gabled south porch includes buttresses and a chamfered stone doorway with a plank door fitted with wrought-iron hinges, along with panelled double inner doors.
Inside, the church has brick walls, with the chancel painted. The chancel arch is moulded stone with a polychrome extrados. The nave roof is arch-braced, while the chancel roof has braced common rafters. The interior features choir stalls with pierced tracery fronts, benches in the nave, a traceried panelled altar and reredos with a canopy, a polygonal panelled pulpit, a carved lectern, a font adorned with shields, and stained glass windows.
