Church Of St Mary The Virgin

The Church of St Mary the Virgin is a church dating from the 13th century, with alterations from the 15th century and a late 19th-century restoration. It is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble, incorporating re-used tiles in the chancel walls, and has lead roofs to the nave and aisles, and plain-tile roofing to the chancel and porch. The church comprises a nave with aisles, a chancel, and a west tower.

The south wall of the chancel features two 13th-century paired lancet windows, a single 19th-century lancet to the right, and a round-headed doorway to the centre right. A single lancet is present on the north wall, east of the building. The east end of the roof has a coped gable. The south aisle, consisting of four bays, is of the 13th century, with two restored 19th-century Y-tracery windows. The window to the right is a 14th-century design with curvilinear tracery, also restored in the 19th century. The east and west walls of the aisle contain 13th-century three-light windows. A 13th-century hollow-chamfered doorway is accessed via a 19th-century wood porch. The north aisle also has four bays, with a 19th-century vestry to its left. It features 13th-century Y-tracery windows to the north and west, in addition to restored 15th and 19th-century windows to the north and east. A 13th-century moulded door to the right has a pointed arch and hood mould with label stops. The vestry door to the centre left is chamfered with a hood mould. The 15th-century clerestory contains four square-headed two-light windows on each side. The aisles are buttressed, and both the nave and aisle roofs feature coped gables.

The west tower comprises two stages; the first stage is from around 1300 and features a restored intersecting tracery window to the west, with carved quadruped imagery below a small traceried opening. A small single-light window is present on the south-facing stair projection. The second stage is from the 16th century, containing three square-headed two-light openings, with a clock face on the south side. A string course runs between the first and second stages, and the roof is finished with battlements. The nave and aisles rest upon a moulded plinth.

Internally, the chancel, largely restored in the 19th century, houses an earlier piscina to the south. The chancel arch is a 19th-century design in the Early English style. Four-bay 15th-century nave arcades exhibit double-chamfered arches on octagonal piers. A 19th-century roof rests on 15th-century carved corbel heads. A 14th-century piscina is found in the south aisle. The vestry door in the north aisle, along with the aisle roofs, dates to the 19th century. Pews, choir stalls, a pulpit, and panelling in the chancel are also from the 19th century, as is the stained glass. A memorial in the north aisle is dated 1776.
