Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a medieval church that underwent significant rebuilding in 1875. It is constructed of coursed squared sandstone, with a porch made of sandstone ashlar and timber. The west turret is timber-framed, featuring close studding and rendered infill, topped with a small splay-footed shingle spire beneath a continuous tile roof. The church is a small structure comprising a nave and chancel combined, with a south porch and west turret.

The porch includes an arched brace design, traceried openings, and bargeboards carved with a vine motif. The chancel features a 19th-century three-light east window with cusped intersecting tracery, and angle buttresses that are flush with the east wall. On the south side, there is a 13th-century trefoiled lancet and a re-set 12th-century window, along with a buttress between the chancel and nave. The nave contains a 19th-century two-light square-headed Decorated window, a very small 13th-century lancet on the north side, and a shallow projection with a 19th-century single light. There are two 15th-century ogee lancets and a 19th-century single light, as well as a blocked 15th-century four-centred doorway with simple blind tracery above. The west window is a 19th-century two-light straight-headed Decorated style. The turret features a moulded middle string course and two narrow lights with wooden Perpendicular style tracery on each face.

Inside, the church has a single-framed roof with collars and ashlar pieces, and the west end includes a truss for the turret. All windows, except for the east window, have straight heads. The chancel is paved with 19th-century encaustic tiles. Notable fittings include a 19th-century Perpendicular style traceried wood chancel screen and a simple west screen. The 13th-century stone font has a curved octagonal cup bowl adorned with a simple incised stiff leaf design on a four-lobed stem, topped with a 19th-century lid. The east window features stained glass in memory of Reverend Samuel D'Oyley Peshall, who died in 1859.
