Description

The Church of St Mary Magdalene has 14th-century origins in its chancel and tower, with a 15th-century upper stage to the tower. The main body of the church was largely rebuilt in 1847 by J.G. Jackson of Leamington, with William Bolland acting as builder, and the east part of the chancel was added in 1884. It is constructed of white and pink sandstone ashlar, with a plain-tile roof.

The church's layout includes a 4-bay nave with a clerestory and aisles. A north aisle extends to the west, accompanied by a south porch, a 2-bay chancel with a north Lady Chapel, a north-east vestry, and a sanctuary. A three-stage west tower is also present.

The tower features a chamfered plinth, angle buttresses with offsets, and a plank door within a 4-centred surround with hollow moulding. Three cusped-light windows with chamfered mullions and surround are visible. Belfry openings on each side have two lights with Y-tracery, a band, battlements, and pinnacles with finials.

The south porch has a chamfered plinth, offset angle buttresses, and a panelled door within a pointed, double-chamfered arch with copings. The aisles display offset buttresses and 2-light windows with reticulated-type tracery. The east end of the south aisle features a 3-light window with curvilinear tracery.

The south side of the chancel includes a blocked round-arched entrance, two single cusped lights, and a 3-light window with Y-tracery. The east end of the Lady Chapel is distinguished by a rose window. Vestry and sanctuary windows have 2 lights with reticulated-style tracery.

Inside, a double-chamfered tower arch is partly concealed. The nave exhibits double-chamfered pointed arches on octagonal piers with moulded capitals and responds. The chamfered chancel arch has a hoodmould and foliate stops on octagonal responds with plain capitals and a continuous impost band. The chancel includes sedilia and a piscina. A 15th-century octagonal font displays shields in pointed quatrefoils. Stained glass is by Kempe.
