Description
The Church of St Mary, built in 1843 by Thomas Bellamy, is a Grade II listed building. It is constructed of rubble with sandstone dressings and features a slate roof. The church includes a nave with a west porch, a lower chancel, and a south vestry and organ chamber. The west porch is gabled and has a moulded pointed doorway with angle shafts, above which is a window with three pointed lights under a pointed head. The nave is adorned with lancet windows separated by buttresses, with five bays on the north side and four on the south. The vestry features a pointed doorway in its west wall and two lancet windows in its south gable wall, which also has a chimney. To the east, there is a lower gabled organ chamber. The chancel on the north side consists of one bay, with three stepped lancets in the east wall. Inside, the church has an open timber roof with arch-braced collar trusses that rise from corbels. The chancel arch is tall and pointed, and within the chancel are double sedilia and a piscina. Some of the windows contain late 19th-century glass.
