Description
The Church of St Mary has 12th-century origins, with chancel walls likely dating to the late 13th or early 14th century. It was largely rebuilt in 1861-2 by N Hawkes, who reconstructed upper parts of the walls and windows, added a bell turret, and carried out further restorations in 1962 by Cuthbert Lord. The church is constructed from coursed lias stone, with a brownish-pink brick tower, a timber belfry, and a plain tile roof.
The church comprises a continuous four-bay nave and chancel, with a north porch and a west tower. The north side has buttresses, and the porch to the second bay has a rounded arch with abaci and a single order of shafts. Windows on either side of the porch commemorate the 1962 restorations. A blocked Norman doorway to the south has a round arch with square pilaster jambs and imposts. The west tower has a transverse pyramidal roof, a single pointed-arched window to the south and west, and slatted timber belfry openings. The south side also has buttresses and one- and two-light lancet windows. Decorative ridge tiles are present.
The interior, restored in 1962, features new furnishings, a west gallery, plastered walls with deeply-splayed window jambs, and a roof with arched-brace collar trusses. A 19th-century octagonal font with quatrefoils is also present.
