Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a largely 14th-century church, with significant additions in 1674 and a restoration in 1858 by Street. It is constructed of sandstone rubble and limestone, with a tower of brick and a tile roof. The church comprises a nave, north aisle, a tower located between the nave and chancel, a north chancel aisle, and north and south porches.

The west windows of the nave and aisle each feature three lights with 19th-century replacement tracery. The south nave wall incorporates a two-light, trefoiled ogee window to the west of the porch, and two further windows, each of two trefoiled lights, also restored in the 19th century. The C19 gabled porch has a moulded pointed doorway with angle shafts and foliated capitals. The inner doorway retains a partly 12th-century round arch with angle shafts and cushion capitals.

The north aisle has three windows, two to the east of the porch and one to the west, each featuring two lights with cusped Y-tracery, the two eastern windows being restored. The doorway is pointed with wave-moulded orders and angle shafts. The north chancel aisle includes two square-headed windows of three lights, with transoms and foiled heads to all the lights. A moulded square-headed doorway and a dated lozenge panel ("1674") are situated between the windows. The east window of the aisle has three transomed lights with depressed ogee heads to the upper lights and panel tracery above. The chancel east window and its south window are C19 replacements of three lights with pointed heads.

The brick tower features sandstone dressings, a stair turret at the southwest corner, an embattled parapet, and a low hipped roof. It has two-light bell openings with flat heads.

The interior showcases a four-bay arcade with pointed arches, chamfered in two orders and springing from alternate round and octagonal piers with moulded capitals. An opening with a trefoiled head is positioned to the east of the eastern arch. The nave features a collar rafter-roof with curved soulaces. The west, east, and north tower arches, and the arch separating the chancel and the north chancel aisle, are pointed, chamfered in two orders, and have moulded capitals. A C19 moulded piscina is present, along with a 14th-century font featuring a moulded octagonal limestone bowl carved with quatrefoil and flower decoration. The north chancel aisle holds early 18th-century communion rails with alternate turned and twisted balusters. Memorials include a wall tablet to Mrs Winifred Lechmere depicting a small kneeling figure, and an alabaster tablet commemorating Rev A B Lechmere with a graffito scene.
