Description
The Church of St Mary is a church built in 1872, with a later addition in 1911. It is constructed from rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and features a 20th-century tiled roof, designed in the Early English style. The chancel includes a gabled north organ loft and a south vestry, while the nave has lean-to aisles along with north and south porches. The building has coped gables and offset buttresses.
The chancel's east window consists of five stepped lancets beneath a hood mould, and the 1911 organ loft features a lancet window. The vestry has three lancets and a lean-to projection on the right with an entrance and an ashlar stack. The five-bay nave includes short paired lancets in the clerestory, and the west end has three traceried lancets below a wheel window with a pointed hood and a gable cross. The aisles have single lancets, with triple lancets in the east bays and gabled porches that feature pointed entrances and paired doors.
Inside, the church boasts arch-braced roofs and a chancel arch with foliate capitals on the imposts. There is a two-bay arcade leading to the organ loft and five-bay nave arcades supported by round piers. The reredos features traceried panelling, and there is an enriched timber pulpit on a stone base, along with an eagle lectern on a pinnacled base. A panelled screen to the organ loft, created between 1908 and 1915, is adorned with painted angels. The church contains good 19th and 20th-century stained glass, including Arts and Crafts style glass by A.E. and P.E. Lemmon of Bromsgrove.
