Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary is a parish church, likely dating from the 14th century, with significant remodeling in the 17th century and a Victorian restoration in 1860 by F Preedy. The church is constructed of ashlar, with a tile roof featuring stone coped verges and leaded detailing on the spire. It comprises a nave with a bellcote and spirelet to the west end, and a chancel.

The south side of the nave has stepped buttresses and a chamfered plinth. A south vestry, rebuilt in 1860 and formerly the porch, is centrally placed. To the right is a square-headed three-light window with cavetto mullions, and to the left a single-light window with a chamfered surround, both dating from the 17th century. The north wall mirrors the south with similar windows, and features a blocked north door with a semi-circular head formed of voussoirs with a filleted roll moulding; this appears to have once been a two-centred head. A door was inserted to the west in 1860, set within a slightly projecting surround and featuring a two-centred arch. The spirelet above the west end was also constructed in 1860, replacing an earlier bellcote. The 1860 bellcote is timber-framed with two-by-two square panels, pierced wood infill, and a triangular vent on each side of the spirelet, featuring decorative chevron ribs to the leaded spire.

The chancel was largely rebuilt in 1860, with a chamfered plinth and drip moulding, and diagonal buttresses. The south wall contains two trefoil-headed lancets and a three-light east window with a two-centred head. The interior features a 1860 chancel arch, which is two-centred and moulded, with engaged shafts to the responds. The nave has a four-bay arch braced collar roof, with a fifth bay accommodating the main posts supporting the bellcote and spirelet. The chancel roof is a boarded barrel vault. Interior fittings largely date from 1860. The nave walls have 17th century panelling to dado height, with a frieze that is partially fluted and partially intersecting lunettes.

The church is situated within a landscape with earthworks indicative of a deserted medieval village to the west.
