Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary, built from the late 13th century, is a coursed stone rubble church featuring freestone dressings. The nave includes a moulded parapet and small 15th-century two-light square-headed clerestorey windows. The north and south aisles were remodelled around 1330-40 and feature reticulated tracery windows, along with east windows of two lights and a double-chamfered north doorway with an outer hollow chamfer. The early English south doorway leads to a south porch that has a double hollow-chamfered arch and foliage capitals. The chancel was rebuilt in the late 16th or early 17th century, showcasing straight-headed windows, with two-light windows on the north and south sides and a four-light east window made from reused materials.

The unbuttressed west tower has three stages, with a 15th-century top stage that features Perpendicular bell-openings and an embattled parapet adorned with quatrefoil panels. Inside, there are four-bay north and south arcades supported by octagonal piers and double-chamfered arches. The north arcade is Perpendicular and incorporates reused 12th-century pier bases, while the centre pier of the south arcade displays a stiff-leaf capital. The early English chancel arch leads to a chamfered two-centred arch doorway from the nave to the tower. The chancel roof is a low-pitched tie-beam style from the 16th century, and the nave roof, dating from 1753, also includes reused materials. The aisle roofs have been restored. There are 14th-century piscinae in the north and south aisles.

A notable feature is the very fine late 16th-century pulpit, originally from Great St Mary's Church in Cambridge, which has hexagonal blank arches with dog-tooth decoration, pilasters with arabesque designs, caryatids supporting the cornice, and a pulvinated frieze at the base. The church also contains a plain octagonal font from around 1300, which has a stem supported by four octagonal shafts, and displays the Stuart Royal Arms.
