Church of St Mary the Virgin

The Church of St Mary the Virgin is a church dating to the 14th century, with a south aisle added in the 19th century. It was extensively restored between 1852 and 1853 by Salvin, during which time the north aisle and chancel were rebuilt. A south vestry was added in 1975. The church is constructed of red sandstone, with some limestone rubble visible in the tower, and has a tile roof. It comprises a west tower, a nave, a north aisle with a pitched roof, a south aisle, and a lower chancel.

The tower has diagonal buttresses, three string courses, and an embattled parapet. The window and door openings have straight-sided pointed arches. The bell openings have a mullion and transom. The west window has two lights with flowing tracery. The west doorway is moulded with a crocketed hood and head stops. The south aisle has five bays with windows featuring pointed arches and flowing tracery. A gabled porch, with a pointed outer arch and attached columns, is located on the left side of the south aisle. The north aisle is divided into five bays by buttresses and has two-light windows. The east window has three lights with flowing tracery.

Inside, the nave has four-bay arcades, with an additional bay opening into the chancel on the north side. The north arcade’s sandstone arches are 4-centred and double-chamfered; its piers are octagonal with carved capitals. The south arcade is similar, but plastered except for the west bay. The pointed tower arch is double-chamfered. The nave roof has queen-post trusses with a central strut and V-struts above the collar. The east bay of the nave has a collar-rafter roof, and the chancel has bolted softwood trusses with arch-braced collars. The chancel includes a piscina and an early 14th-century effigy within an arched recess. A further, defaced effigy of a similar date stands on a later stone base in the south aisle. Several 18th-century wall tablets are re-set on the north wall of the north aisle. There's a timber pulpit carved in a Jacobean style, and a bread cupboard dated "TP 1694" is located at the west end of the south aisle. The windows contain mainly late 19th-century glass, including one dated 1865, by Powell.
