Church Of St Mary The Virgin

The Church of St Mary the Virgin is a church built in 1875 by architect J.P. Seddon. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar and features Welsh slate roofs with coped stone gables and ornamental ridge tiles. The architectural style is Early English.

The church has a three-bay nave with aisles, a north porch, and a south-west tower that is divided into three stages. It also includes single-bay transepts and an apsidal chancel. The exterior is characterized by angle buttresses on the nave and straight buttresses on the porch, which have offsets. There is a chamfered plinth and a continuous sill band. The porch features a plank door set within a 4-centred pointed arch, surrounded by a projecting surround with a shallow gable and finials, topped by a small rose window.

The nave has seven cusped lancets on the south side and six on the north side. The west end features a four-light window with bar tracery at the top, while the aisles have cusped lancets on their west ends. The tower includes lancet windows, a broached octagonal bell stage, and a slender spire. The transepts have a three-light window on the north side with bar tracery at the top and a group of four cinquefoil lights on the south side, with the rest of the transepts having cusped lights. The apse is adorned with seven cusped lancets, each supported by slender colonnettes at the corners, and features a horizontal crescent-shaped band beneath an ornate frieze.

Inside, the church has double-chamfered arcades with outer clusters of three columns and a single central column, all featuring roll-moulding at the top and water-holding bases. The transepts also have similar double-chamfered arches. The aisle windows are framed by an arcade of slender shafts with roll-moulded capitals and water-holding bases, and there is a full-height arcade in the chancel. The nave and chancel have stencilled wagon roofs, while the aisles have half-wagon roofs. The octagonal font is decorated with trefoiled panels featuring a motif of fishes in a net.

The church forms a group with the gates, piers, and railings that lead to the churchyard.
